Are these computer parts compatible? Revised?
I suggest you sell that PSU even before you use it for maybe $30. Brand spanking new. Buy this a href="http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817171031&cm_re=500_watt_PSU-_-17-171-031-_-Product" rel="nofollow"http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.as…/a . $37 after shipping and the MIR. Some may whine about the sleeve bearing but for 2 years of daily use on a starter build it is gonna be perfect. Register within 30 days so you're covered if it ever does go kaput. It's gonna have to be upgraded when you buy your new graphic card. Most lower end cards that need that 6 pin connector will ask for a minimum of 450 watts or more. Just a heads up for the future. As it stands everything looks good. Make sure you register EVERYTHING to be able to take advantage of all the warranties if it should ever come to that. No worries with the sound card though. It will fit fine. That does bring up a possible issue. How much extra power does that card need. Will it exceed the 430? Interesting answer. I went to thermaltake. Why Thermaltake? They make Power Supply Units and it a pretty nice one. It can even see a bit into the future and take capacitor aging. It can also take a full load into consideration. Well ummm. The tally on what you have now including the DVD burner and the Sound card is 334W. A ways into the future when you get a SSD, just for your operating system and a couple select programs that can benefit from an SSD's blazing speed, & buy a graphic card and buy an extra DVD drive so you can back up DVD's that number of course is only gonna go up. Total after the addition of that hardware? 560W. I have to say something about your RAM. Please get Kingston or Corsair. I mean to each their own but I've heard too much about Patriot to even consider them for my build. Crysis up there even had a hand in my build. A couple months back I was asking the same questions you are. He answered at least two of my MANY MANY MANY MANY MANY MANY MANY questions here on YA. a href="http://secure.newegg.com/WishList/PublicWishDetail.aspx?WishListNumber=11354589" rel="nofollow"http://secure.newegg.com/WishList/Public…/a + a href="http://www.amazon.com/Ultra-1200W-Atx-Black-Active/dp/B002STX6AW/ref=sr_1_3?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1306981816&sr=1-3" rel="nofollow"http://www.amazon.com/Ultra-1200W-Atx-Bl…/a is the result.
