Random gray PSU is not going to be good. Get a good PSU, something like the corsair 400CX isnt too much and you wont risk it blowing up on you.

Cheers, that is one component I was going to change!

Asus AM3 AMD NF630A DDR3 ATX
AMD CPU Athlon II X3 435 95W AM3 1.5MB 2900MHZ

Negative on board: it's just an AM2 with DDR3 slot for RAM (HT limitation, PCIex16 gen 1.0/1.1, etc)

Depending on prices: Rana 440?

Off Ebuyer UK 446 GBP

Hi

Would this motherboard be a better option...

Asus AM3 AMD 770 DDR3 ATX

As I said I am trying to keep it as cheap as poss!

That would really depend on how much is selling but that MSI 770 would suffice

The Asus AM3 AMD 770 DDR3 ATX is only £15 quid more, so I can afford that.
Cheers for your help!
