The ram I have is not quite so new 184 pin
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820145450

For psu you cant go wrong with this just a little over $100 with rebate. Best psu I've had. Never used a rebate with newegg, so don't know how good they are.

[safan80]

I brought the same same setup but all from newegg.com and the ram I brought

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...2E16820227030R

it's $159.99 and I know I'm taking a chance on it not working. some have gotten it working while most have not

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820227030

I will find out friday if it works together.

Thanks for the replyes guys.

I think I'll go for that power suply. Ill grab it from zipzoomfly.com, $129 free shipping and a 25 rebate.

As for the ram I don't know if to take the chance with the OCZ it looks good and all but from what I have been reading it's got some big compatability issues with the M2N so still undecided about ram.

I was going to upgrade little by little week by week but my current pc just decided to die on me and I just decided to go all the way with the upgrade. Might be able to salvage some of the parts from it but the mobo is fried.

I'm trying to get a safe setup as this one died in the middle of finishing my thesis.

Any imput on safe ram for this mobo will help loads

Thermaltake TR2 W0070 ATX 430W Power Supply -------------$40

Best bang for your buck and should get you to your goal easy.

Try also HEC PSUs, they also are cheap for the wallet..

[perkam]

The power supply you've chosen is outdated, and there is nothing wrong with getting 1gb of ram.

Here is one of the newr RoHs Compliant high efficiency power supplies from Silverstone...on sale on Newegg: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16817256001 ... that should also fit your budget.

1GB of Corsair DDR2-800 Ram:

PSU

So this one

SILVERSTONE SST-ST50EF ATX12V 500W Power Supply 90 - 264V
--(can it handle SLI ok, and minor overclock on cpu???)--

over this one ??

OCZ PowerStream OCZ520ADJSLI ATX, BTX, EPS12V 520W Power Supply 100~120Vac / 200~240Vac 10/6a

I need to make the purchase today in orther to recieve them before next week is out


With the silverstone PSU I can put some more money into getting maybe 2gb of ram. Any ideas

[perkam]

The Powerstream is a bad idea also because the nex gen Power streams...the Gamexstreams from OCZ are out and for $119 at Monarch, so the 520w is out of the question.

The SST50EF should handle an oced 6600 and an oced 7900GT just fine, and with 2gbs of ram it should work faster as well

Which 2gb did you have in mind btw ?

Wow this is not a bad price at all I might just get it instead

For ram I was looking at these guys:

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820145015

and

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820141211



Another thing I need to buy is a HDD but my budget for it outside of the one ^^^^ above is around $60

I was looking at this one but I have never used a samsung drive mostly maxtor
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16822152020
I have about $300- left to spend and still need Memory and PSU

[Jaco]

may I recommend OCZ 6400 platinum :
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820227089

[Yoyi]

Would have to get the SILVERSTONE PSU to have enough for that RAM. And i dunno about the compatavility with my mobo.

[perkam]

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820145015

Wow...where did you find that LOL That's an amazing price and is guaranteed to do DDR2 800 easy. Plus Corsair's comptability is better than OCZ's for AM2 motherboards. (Corsaie > PQI everyday)

If you buy the ram above along with the OCZ 600w Gamexstream (if its in your budget) then you've got a great combo on your hands.

The ST50EF is a great psu too if you're looking not to explode your budget

Frustration escalading






Might have to order from Monarch for $15 more and no Blood Money game on it

Edit: Damit monarch had old cards........gona have to way ::cry::

[safan80]

I post tested the ram and it works fine so I'll report when I do the motherboard swap in my other system.

[safan80]

the ram is crap. not stable in windows unless run at 533 which !=800. the OCZ I listed above is trash.
