I asked on here not long ago about a rig and I'm kinda waiting around unsure when to buy and what to buy.
If this rig is suitable and compatible, what I want to know is if I can run it with my current power supply. My current PSU is an Enermax Noisetaker 485W (has a PCI-Express 6P for the video card). If you need any more info on it I can give it.

I'd rather the budget was £400 as I need to buy a monitor and at some point I want to update to Vista. The HD 3850 Pro 512MB appears to be good, but I don't know if I can do better. This link is very useful:

So is PSU good? Is rig good? I wish to play high demanding games.
 
Wow I'm shocked that the PSU is enough to power that Quad processor. I was convinced it wasn't. Doesn't the CPU come with its own little tower built on top? I have several big fans (not being used) inside my computer case. If I need something extra I'd appreciate a pointer. :)
Any opinions on that graphics card too?
 
Ah thanks; silly me! I see what you mean now. I didn't pay any attention to the pics. I'm no overclocker and far from being an expert in any department; could you do anything better with £400?
 
I see. I thought the processor would have contributed more. Thanks a bunch. Are you guys sure my PSU WILL provide the fire for that card though? It must be much more demanding.
