You wasted your money on the 512mb 1950pro, you could have gotten a 1950xt, better performance. That coolermaster psu is about as low as you could go, i would strongly recommend that you get a new one. The mobo is decent, but there are better alternatives out there. the Gigabyte GA-965GM-S2 is a pretty good mobo for the money.


the main problen is the psu, you really, really, really need to replace it. seriously. i cant stress that enough.

heres a good alternative. pretty good for the price.

i was looking for that one, because i remebered hearing about a really good FSP psu for $50, but i thought it was 500w, not 450w, so i must have missed it.

@OP: the one EnfoercerFX just linked is a great psu for the price, get that one.
