wow thank you so much, quite a beast for a budget machine!!, thanks do you know if that mobo will support more than 2 gig?, cheers Gareth

 

[Edward01]

yep should do, anything up to 4gig

You say you've already got a PSU. Is it of good quality or is it a generic one? Low quality PSUs are frequently a major problem in machines.

 

[poliniman]

PSU is a cheapy, but has not slipped up once in 2 years (touch wood)

I would strongly recommend getting a decent PSU- you could get this case- Antec NSK4400 Mini Tower Case - 380W SmartPower PSU for only £20 more which comes with a decent 380W PSU which will run that machine fine

Get a 7600GT instead of the X1650. Or fork out about £15 more for the 7900GS when its back in stock.
