Corsair 520W would be my recommendation.

mp260767 · 8 Jun 2008 at 22:02

you could go for the corsair 450w for that setup.

maybe change:

mobo to the Asus P5K
Intel Core 2 Duo E8200 to the 7200
Corsair 2GB DDR2 Value Select PC2-4200C5 to pc6400

Whilst you guys are at it, fancy doing mine too?

Motherboard - MSI X48C Platinum Intel X48
Processor - Intel Core 2 Quad Pro Q6600
Memory - OCZ 4GB (2x2GB) PC2-6400C5
HDD - Samsung SpinPoint F1 750GB
Optical Drive - Pioneer BDC-202BK 5x BD-ROM
GFX - Asus ATI Radeon HD 3870 XT 512MB

I will probably hold off buying all this until the new ATi cards come out. So any PSU or any other recommendations?

i'd go for a p35 board if you're going with the q6600, people might disagree, but i prefer to match tech made from around the same time where possible, less likely to be issues with the setup.

NeoNemesis · 9 Jun 2008 at 15:32

So this might be better?

Asus P5K Premium/WiFi-AP Intel P35 (Socket 775) PCI-Express DDR2 Motherboard

I want the ability to have up to 8gig ram and add another GFX card in Crossfire if I want to in the future...

Enermax Modu 82+ 525W EMD525AWT Modular ATX2.3 should also be considered as it is more futureproof and meets the new atx2.3 standard.
