New board / PSU

The_Biggles · 17 May 2006 at 17:30

Having problems with mobo (and i think PSU) so decided to finally upgrade. Running Asus K7 with a cheap PSU. Looking for a decent board that will support the following :

6800GT AGP
AMD Athlon 64 Venice (939)
3 x 512 DDR
3 x IDE HDDs

I only need LAN and sound PCI slots, but the both can go onboard if i ever need more cards.

Regarding the PSU, i'm not really that fussed. Would like to get the pair for under £100 if possible. Got the Antec 180 case so want to keep things quiet. Possibly an Antec PSU to pair things up nicely?

Cheers guys given me plenty to think about. Prob go for the Enermax and Asrock but that will prob all change by tomorrow (pay day).

Shame i cant see the MM yet. Ahh well.

Tnx chaps

Reading the above posts and having a look about today i think £50 would get you something decent. For a £10 saving its not worth buying a PSU which isnt up to the job, which i sadly discovered.

The Enermax and Akasa listed above look very good.

Went for:

Akasa Ultra Quiet 460W PSU
Asrock 939 Dual Mobo

Delivered for £104 which is pretty good i suppose.

Tnx for the help guys. Just got messing about with the 180 case to look forward too
