its either im pushing it or im just plain stupid to do this but its worth a try. im going to try to go lowest as possible with the psu, i found another which is $10+ less than my current choice

THERMALTAKE TR2 W0070 ATX 430W Power Supply 115/230 V - Retail

any good?

[ripken204]

actually dont get either

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?...N82E16817189003

now this is a very good modular psu

[BombaTwist]

hmm im not sure if 6 4-pin connectors are enough for me, but then again it is a very good psu, i saw it before on another website for the best bang for a buck listing. also, whats the difference between the fan being on the outside part of the psu and the top part of the psu?

hmm...

2 case fans..

1 harddrive,

1 dvd burner,

The Asrock 939dual-sata2 would let you use your AGP card now, and let you upgrade to PCIe later. It isnt a neutered AGP slot either...full 8x/4x. Review here.

whoaaa thats crazy oO. i would like to hear from others about this!!

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?...N82E16813157081

it has 20-pin ATX, how come other sckt 939 boards have 24-pin?

i wonder what ripken204 has to say about this board oO.

[ripken204]

hmm...

well i would definetly pick the msi neo4 over this

after reading alot of reviews, it is a good board but only it asrock would spend time on making a good bios, so many errors and problems such as cold boot. it is also slower than the msi board. but it is a good value board.

the other mobos have 24pins b/c they need an extra 4 pins plugged into the mobo for added stability.
