Hate to make another post for the same build but I'm buying tonight and my other thread was pretty dead, this will be short though!
Part one - Just want to post my final budget build for review, so this is what I got.
Mobo - Asus m5a78l-m lx plus - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131795
HDD - Western Digital 500gb - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822136769
Op Drive - Asus dvd burner - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16827135204
Mem - 8gigs G.Skill Ripjaw DDR3 1333 - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231426
CPU - Phenom II X4 965 BE - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819103727
Vid - XFX Radeon HD 6870 - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814150561
My final question on this build is about my PSU and the vid cards. I found a damn good deal on the XFX 6870 that I want to nab, there's only one problem. I'm using a 500w 80+ rocketfish PSU that i bought 1-2 years back when I was attempting to salvage an older computer, since then it's had little use in a 2nd dying computer and has been sitting in a closet for some time. Since I bought it i have moved and if it came with SATAs and PCIs well they're most likely long gone. So as it is i have this PSU with 20+4 pin mobo, 2 4Pin cpu, and 7 molex. So that said, would it be a safe/worthwhile fix to use these until I upgrade my PSU?
2 of these which I guess would take 4 molex http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16812887001
And one of these for the drive and HDD http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16812119010
So If that fix works, the XFX which, unlike Sapphire, doesnt come with adapters, should be affordable for me. Thx!
