Hi.
I intend to upgrade my computer with some new snazzy hardware and would like to get some advice/recommendations before I purchase the parts.
This is what I am thinking about buying:
Motherboard:
Asus K8V K8T800 Socket754 ATX
CPU:
AMD Athlon64 3200+
CPU fan:
Zalman ZM-7000A-CU
Ram:
2x Kingston KVR400X64C3A/512 PC3200
DVD-Burner:
NEC ND-2510
Power Supply:
Enermax 460W
And these parts I keep from my old rig:
Harddrives:
120GB WD
40GB WD
Video card:
Sapphire Radeon 9700
Sound card:
SB Live! Platinum
CD-burner:
NEC NC-7700
Will the Power supply do for the new system?
I checked my new might-be system with http://www.jscustompcs.com/power_supply/ and it seem to work out; a 401 W recommeded minimum against the 460 W of the Enermax PSU, and with no plans for further hardware expansion. Though the site does not list the wattage needed for the AMD64 CPU:s, I used the most power-consuming processor I could find. Do anyone know what power a AMD64 requires?
Also, what other PSU brands known for quality (reliability/low noise)? I have an Antec, Aspire or an Enhance PSU in mind as second choice, but I do not know how reliable these are.
Thankful for any response.
