Will this PSU be able to sustain these upgrades

[ds-]

Recently, my PSU burned out and also killed my graphics card and motherboard.

I am now running the following setup:
AMD 64 x2 4400+
8600 GTS
2 GB (I believe DDR 3200) ram
160GB HDD
DVD RW burner
Antec Basiq 500W PSU w/following specs:

That's two 12v rails with 18a each

However, I want to upgrade (by the end of the year), to an AMD x2 6000+ (125w) and a 9600GT (recommended 26 on 12v).

Will this PSU [safely] run these components? I don't want to risk burning out my PSU and damaging more components.

It should be fine. Your PSU has 27A on the 12V.

Be careful, if it is indeed DDR 400 (PC 3200) ram you have then the processor is a Toledo-based Socket 939. The 6000+ is an AM2 processor and the two are NOT interchangable. If it is DDR2 then it's a Windsor- or Brisbane-based AM2 processor that could be upgraded to the 6000+. I however would suggest an upgrade to the 5400+ BE for $77 @ 2.8Ghz with an unlocked multiplier.

I agree with aevm, though, the Antec PSU you have should be fine.

So I guess he needs to buy an AM2 motherboard and a new AM2 CPU and some DDR2-800...

Reading the first line of the post could have helped me immensely. Oops

Thanks for the reply

The first line is misleading, since I actually already have a working gfx card, psu, and mobo.

I just checked CPU-Z, and the RAM is actually DDR2 and I'm running a Socket AM2 Brisbane 4400+, so I should be able to upgrade to a 6000+.

Thanks for the advice on upgrading to a 5400+ instead, I'll look into it

Ill agree with Aevm, that PSU will power than system quite easily.
