Upgrade Time

[thepominlaw]

Just in the process of upgrading my aging PC ...... isnt everyone

Ordered Antec P182SE case, Abit IP35 Pro Motherboard and an 8800GT but i have a few questions plus not sure which processor to go for.

1 - Will my existing Tagan Easycon 530W PSU be suitable for this case (ie cable length, anyone else got one)
2 - Will my PSU provide enough power for the new components? (Currently powering AMD X2 3800 @2.6ghz, 2gb DDr, X1950XT, 3 x HDD, 2 x DVDRW)
3 - Which CPU cannot decide between Q6600 or E6750
4 - Is the mobo and graphics card a good choice

Help brain overload

1. I reckon it'll be fine. If not, you could always sell it and get a new PSU (Corsair HX 520).
2. See No. 1.
3. I'd take the Q6600. Is gaming your absolute priority? Will you be overclocking?
4. Yes, very much so.
