Hi
I'm new here, but not the OC website.

I am doing a big upgrade sometime in the near future and I wondered if my current PSU would run this new hardware until I buy another one.

Here is the hardware I have decided to get

note: This hardware may change

CPU

Motherboard

Graphics Card

Ram
http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showp...Latency DDR2 Dual Channel Kit (GX22GB6400UDC)

I have already got the Ram.
If anyone one has got any better hardware suggestions that would be better for playing games than the hardware I have picked that would be great. The games I would be playing are from WoW and UT2004 to Cod4, Crysis and future high demanding games. I am not spending over £320 INCLUDING a PSU.

My current PSU is a iCute ATX-400W/P4 and i'm afraid thats all I know about it, I have had it for about 5 years so I understand that some Watts may/will have drained from it.

I have a good understanding of computers so dont be afraid of me not knowing the questions you ask me.

Ok, thanks again but im kinda looking for more of a 500W+ PSU

Any of these ok?
I dont know all that much about PSU's and PSU manufacturers.


The Gigabyte one seems a little cheap but I know they make other good products but I dont know what their like for Power supplies.

Also, why don't you recommend/ like Hiper? I read a post on these forums about them going bang but their not sure.
