I just built a system using this mobo bundle:

http://www.novatech.co.uk/novatech [...] l?MBB-322G

and a corsair vx 550 psu.

I changed the ram to 4gb and have two cd writers and a cardreader attached.

Is the psu a bit over the top?

Do you think I can add an additional ati x1600 card, rather than using the onboard graphics.

?

Thanks

I think that if you use 4850 on that system, yourcpu will bottleneck the gpu.

that corsair will power any single graphics card on the market

that e3200 is based on the wolfdale core so it will clock like a mother
