Just building a resonable spec system for my sister as a late christmas present.
I'm using the following items in the build:-
Gigabyte GA-MA770T-UD3 mobo (V1.4)
AMD AthlonII X2 265 3.3GHz CPU with retail heatsink & fan
2Gb (2x1Gb) Kingston KHX1333C7D3K2/2G DDR3 1333 RAM
Coolermaster Centurian II 5 Midi-Tower case
PNY Nvidia Geforce 9800GT 1Gb
2x 500Gb Western Digital SATA HD
2x Sony DVD-RW SATA
Antec 550w Basiq PSU
Put it all together and have had nothing but problems which I think is down to the PSU.
Has anybody used one of these Antec PSU's with a similar type of motherboard as mine ? ? I've seen several stories on the web of this exact PSU causing the same issues on similar AMD based setups.
I'm thinking about replacing the Antec with a Corsair 650w TX instead as it's a higher quality PSU and a bit more powerful.
You guys had any experience with this combo of parts ?
Cheers
Paul
