Hi All,

I am upgrading a 3 year old upgrade and wanted to make sure it was OK with what I have gone for.

The computers use will mainly be for gaming on a 1280x1024 screen. I do not plan to overclock or go SLI.
At the moment I am using XP. I am using same case, hard drive, dvd etc.

The only problem I have is to make sure the power is enough and if my 2gb 667 RAM would be OK for the system or If I need to go for 800 RAM. If so my RAM selection is at the bottom.

My budget is around £450

Gigabyte GA-EP45-UD3R iP45 Socket 775 7.1 channel audio ATX Motherboard

Intel Core 2 Duo E8400 Socket 775 (3.0GHz) 1333FSB 6MB L2 Cache Retail Boxed Processor

Cheers for any help
 
Your DDR2 667 RAM should work in the EP45-UD3R.
The Corsair 550VX is plenty of power for the system.
If you don't need RAID HDDs or support for 1333 RAM look for the EP43-UD3L motherboard.

To fix your links put the item description inside the link:

Thanks for the advice.

I'll use the EP45-UD3R cos I like what it looks like :D

P.S. I tried to fix the links but it does not want to update.
