Well you already have the specs for my video card.

- AMD 64 Processor
- 2.2 GHz, 3200+
- 2048 MB RAM
- Anything else you need?

I'll spend $30 to $100 I guess, don't really know how much these things go for, I have more money if needed.

None. You skimp out on a power supply and you will pay for it later. It is one of the components where you dont want to find the cheapest ones.

I'll look up some more and have them posted by tomorrow.

Roshan, look at the ratings on those, they're not cheap.
Anyway, here are some more expensive ones:

1)  http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817189005

2)  http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817189014

3) http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817104037

4) http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817104034

Other than the internet, I don't do much with my computer besides watch movies and play video games - the one with the most graphics requirements being BF2.  I might get COD4 though.  Based on my video card information and computer specs, will any of those 4 links above work?  They are the best of the best for ATX.

Not to much of a difference there, but yours has a bigger cooling fan of 120mm compered to mine of 80mm. And mine gives 1 more year of a warranty. So with that said, to very close PSU, but one is $60 (mine) and the other is $90 (yours)

True we don't know what mother board you have, but for the most part all PSUs are backward compatible, I am assuming your MB is more then a year or 2 old.

Yeah, is there a way I can look at my motherboard under dxdiag?  Mine is 4-5 years old.

Also, your link is an ATX 12V and I've just been looking at ATX - are they compatible?

Should I go with link #2 or yours?  I guess I'll wait for some other people to read this over the next day or two to decide...

Look for a power supply that says it has an efficiency rating of 80% or higher. 83% and up is really good.

What it means is that the power being taken from the wall outlet 110v and converting it so that it can be fed through to all your components.  When it converts, it looses a lot of the power so that's where the efficiency comes in. If you have a low %, it means you are loosing a lot of the power which is not good for the comp nor for your electric bill. So if it says like a 650W power supply, you want to make sure that your comp is getting that power, instead of loosing some of it due to the steps.


For motherboard, download CPU-Z. It will tell you in the tabs all the info about your CPU, motherboard, and RAM.

Here is cpu-z down load that Roshan is talking about. Run it and go to the "Mainboard" tab, there you will see the info of your board.

Take your time beatle get some input from people on a choice before getting the PSU.

i'm done for the night.

I'm pretty sure the model is this: ASUS K8S-LA (SALMON) Motherboard

I did a search and northbridge and southbridge information match so I'm pretty sure it is the correct model. And when you type in Asus Salmon in Google, this is the only model you get.

Socket 754? Ok then... Beatle, if that board is correct, the choice you and I made will work.

Which choice did we make...

1) http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817189014

or

2) http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817371007


The first one is just ATX (which is what I already have) and the second one is ATX 12V.  What is the difference?
