I dont know much about that power supply. Just make sure it has the 8 pin CPU power connector for that motherboard.

Also go with DDR2 667(increases bandwidth a little).

@Vascular: It doesn't. However, I was aware of the issue when I ordered it and have also ordered a converter cable for 4-pin to 8-pin. I live in a very 'backwater' nation that sells a TurboCache 6200 for $250US...see what I mean? So I ordered everything from my home country and asked a visiting friend to bring them over for me. The pin thing escaped me when I ordered it, because I didn't get to see it. Shoulda done more research.

@Prozac: It's mainly a gaming rig, but I'll also be doing some programming... and I KNOW AMD would have been better, but good AMD mobos are hard to find... in fact the Neo-F was the best I could find! And that's saying something IMO...



Can't I always overclock the RAM? DDR2 667 was just a liiiiiittle out of my reach.... I knew I'd pay for that Cheeseburger...
