    NCIX.com - Buy Corsair CMPSU-450VX 450W ATX 12V 33A 24PIN ATX Power Supply Active PFC 120MM Fan - CMPSU-450VX In Canada.


    My reason for buying this new one is that i'm also looking to buy this:

    > EVGA E-GEFORCE 8800GT 600MHZ 512MB 1.8GHZ DDR3 PCI-E Dual DVI-I HDTV Out Video Card:chk:

    NCIX.com - Buy EVGA E-GEFORCE 8800GT 600MHZ 512MB 1.8GHZ DDR3 PCI-E Dual DVI-I HDTV Out Video Card - 512-P3-N801-AR In Canada.

    and these:

    MEMORY STICKS:
    Kingston HyperX PC2-6400 2GB 2X1GB DDR2 800MHZ CL4-4-4-12 240PIN Dual Channel Memory Kit:chk:

    OK, um, I don't feel like looking up BIOS specs to find out what board you've got. Can you just give the make/model of the motherboard, please?

    That looks to me like it would work, you could even go for a 2x2GB ram package (your board supports up to 16GBs apparently). The only thing I might change would be getting a slightly more powerful power supply, just to accommodate for any future upgrades.

    Hope this helps!
