zakobi Posted August 19, 2010 Posted August 19, 2010 One of my friends got some BSOD and so he decide to get some new parts after he could really locate the problem. So, lucky me, i got the old parts. If i can use 'em, then it's good, if i can't, then nothing lost. He suspect it's the RAM, as that was the only thing he didn't check. I got: CPU: intel q6600 Mobo: ASUS striker extreme (a ROG) Some ddr 2 ram and an after market cooler. My current PSU isn't sufficient to run it, and my current GPU is an AGP card. So now I'm looking for a reasonable psu and gpu. I was thinking on perhaps see if i could get a used corsair psu, and perhaps the GTX 460 768mb as new. Tips and advice?
JLZ Posted August 19, 2010 Posted August 19, 2010 If you go for ATI, your power consumption will be lower. You might have problems with drivers and some games but it's solvable. I have MSI Hawk 5770 and it's quite good OCer. Corsair (IMHO) is best PSU maker. They don't have lower quality PSUs although they have their budget line (CX) and their warranty is 5 years.
