upgrade time?

[AS_Platinum]

Seeing as my current rig is playing up and I can't work out why(either g-card or mobo)! I was thinking sod it, build a newish rig utilising some old componants, my current setup is:

E6600
Asus P5W DH deluxe m/b
4 gig Geil PC6400 ram
HIS 2900pro
250gig Seagate
80gig Maxtor
Corsair HX520 PSU

I was thinking of just putting this lot together,



and using my current CPU, ram & case, now would the 4850 be okay with my current HX520 or is it worthwhile me keeping the 650W in my shopping cart? I was thinking of putting the 2 160GB seagates into raid 0, and still keeping my old 250GB seagate.

Are you thinking of a crossfire setup,if not i can highly reccomend the Asus P5Q Deluxe P45,very nice board for a cheaper price and good overclocking results.

That HX520 corsair should easily cope with what you want to run..

Me too, built one up for a mate using this board, nearly swiped it for myself

No crossfire at all, thanks for the input.

cahnge the 4850 to a 4870 and drop the motherboard to a P5Q Pro, you can keep the PSU youve currently got.
