soo, I have recieved most of my parts for my build and I just cannot wait any longer to put it together. But the psu I have now is questionable..but I will be getting a new one in a week. My question is if I build the computer with my old psu for now could it or will it hurt any of my computer parts?

Yeah it really depends what you mean by "questionable".
nah it wont fry anything i dont think, but theres just no point in even trying anyway becuase of the risk, look at the specs of your psu, amperage on the 12v rails then tell us here, and we can tell whether or not it will run. unless your case is antec and it has a antec earthwatts psu or sumthin, itll probably be a dodgy psu.
ummm, well. Here is a picture of the case i have with a close up on the psu.. if this does not have the info. I will investigate further.

no specs on the psu in that newegg link. i guess really it depends on what exactly you are putting in the rig. i mean, a qx9650, a 4870 x2 and 3 hdds...i'd have to say...uh, no.
it will probably be alright for a week, just to get everything up and running. i wouldnt try going into the overclock olympics till you got a better one, tho.

My friend has my power supply (Thermaltake 430w) and he has a Q6600 @ 3.0ghz with a 4850 and 3 hard drives.
