Hi
After my lightning strike & associated wranglings, I'm now going to order a new psu, maybe a case and a hard drive.
My kit now is:
Core2 Duo E4300
Asus P5B mobo
Tagan 480w psu (fried)
2gb Geil ram
Cheap case
X1800XT gfx card
I'm looking at buying an Antec Sonata III case with 500w psu and the Western Digital Caviar SE16 500GB 5000AAKS SATA-II 16MB Cache - OEM.
Now to a question: is the psu good enough to last me for a few years, gfx upgrade for Crysis at the end of the year, etc? Or should I do what seems to be recommended everywhere and get a Corsair psu and keep my cheap case?
I do a bit of overclocking, play games like BF2, HL2 etc and will definitely want to play Crysis when it eventually comes out.
Thanks for any help.
