Upgrading gaming rig

Von Luck · 11 Sep 2007 at 11:40

Current spec is as follows:

A64 x2 4600
MSI K8N Neo4 Plat
2gb Crucial PC3200
512mb HIS x1900xt
320gb Seagate 7200.10
620w Enermax Liberty

I'm thinking of upgrading with the following components:

Q6600 (95w)
Asus P5K
4gb Crucial Ballistix PC2-6400 (4 x 1gb)
Leadtek 8800gtx
Possibly 2nd SATA drive for OS, with data on the Seagate.

That spec look ok - anything I should change? Will my existing PSU run the new kit ok?

Cheers.

Upgrade looks great! Your existing PSU will be fine to run the new machine.

I did a not too different upgrade just a month ago. It's an incredible setup.

Thanks for the comments. What power connections do the 8800GTX require - just a single PCIe power feed?

Two PCIe 6pin connectors

Yep, and f you don't have them then the card usually comes with one or two: 2 molex to 1 6pin PCI-E.
