i am suing a ASUS 400w, how much are these new processors going to cost?
any reccomended full systems?

would it be ok to buy in this order

PSU - 520W Antec
Graphics - 5770
Main - THIS
then maybe a SSD if i have any money left?

would that still run under a 520w power supply?
and can it handle games such as Call od duty Modern Warfare 2, Battlefields Bad Company 2 on hgih settings?

sorry stupid queston, it says it works on that website!

Danny862 · 11 Dec 2010 at 17:41

i should also use google more oftrn, will work on that one

thanks for all the advice!

what would you say would be the best GPU under £150 if i am spending £50 on a PSU that will be in budget of £200 for them both

Danny862 · 11 Dec 2010 at 18:08

agreed on the PSU anyway, 520w will that sopport a i5 or higher if i decide to get one of them?
