Ok so I'm ordering a few new parts from MB this week and I'm wondering how much my system performance will improve once I've made this switch. New system: Asus P5N73-AM Intel C2D e8400 2gb (2x1024) OCZ Reaper HPC Ed. Geforce 8800GT I'm really hoping this will be an improvement since I had a wicked bottleneck from my old cpu and mb (P5GD2-x and Celeron D 64 3.2ghz) and my 8800GT. I only have a 450 watt power supply now so I don't use opticals, but if anyone has a cheap PSU 550w or more let me know and we can work something out. |

If the 450 is a quality unit, it should be fine |

Yeah the 450 is sufficient and is what I'm currently using. I just miss the luxury of optical drives and side panel fan. |

It don't even have a brand name, came with my case as a combo. It says for +12v 24.0A and for +5v 0.3A. Everything is in molex, no pcie or sata connectors. So I had to buy adapters to turn 2 molex into one 6 pin pcie adapter and i use 2 hard drives which use 1 molex-sata connector each. After that, everything is used up so no more connectors for opticals or side panel fan. |
