I have this PSU sitting around without a home, and I recently bought my Dad the mobo + CPU listed below. If anyone has any opinions, I'd be happy to hear 'em.
I realize that old PSUs require a couple BIOS changes to play nice with Haswell, but I was looking for opinions if I should bother in my case. My case being, I have this PSU stored out of state, so I'm not sure if it'll wind up costing a third of a new modern PSU after all is said and done, but I know it was a great unit in its day.
I got this combo for around $88 on a deal, so the only money I'll be adding to that is a SATA DVD burner and possibly a third party cooler (assuming the stock is loud/not as efficient...not sure how hot this chip runs as it's been a while since I read the reviews, i'll revisit them when it comes time.)
There won't be a gaming graphics card added to this setup any time in the near future.
Thanks guys
