Thanks a bunch. I think I'll be going with an Antec Earthwatts 430 Watt unit. http://www.newegg.com/Product/...x?Item=N82E16817371006

Then I'll repeat myself: OK then, I need one that will handle a single 8600GT, 1 SATA hard drive, and 1 or 2 CD/DVD drives. My MB is a AMD based Gigabyte GA-MA78G-DS3H.

I'm not looking for advice on which PSU to buy. What I'd like to know, is which to avoid. Who's making the total crap units? thanks, Jacito

Flipped G, I don't have the GA-MA78GM-S2H. I have the GA-MA78G-DS3H. Do you have any experience with this board?

I just got off the phone with the e-tailer. They said that they were out of stock on the ECS board, and hope that I accept the Gigabyte board instead. I asked why they shipped me a Gigabyte board, and they told that since I ordered 2 boards (the other is P35) they figured I might like this...

An ECS A780GM-A was ordered and I recieved a Gigabyte GA-MA78G-DS3H. Should I return it and request the ECS or keep the Gigabyte or request a GA-MA78GM-S2H instead?

My brother and I are building 2 new machines. So far I've got an AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core 5000+ 2.6GHz Black Edition and an ECS A780GM-A ATX MB. He has an Intel Pentium Dual Core E2180 2.0GHz 1MB 800MHz and a GIGABYTE GA-P35-DS3L ATX MB. We need some help picking out cases, RAM, and...

any one?

Hi folks, I just found this online, and I'd like to know what everyone thinks. Is it worth the money? thanks, Jacito

I plan on using it for SolidWorks, and playing some games. Nothing major.

So, can I assume it's better to get the E4500?

Ok, that helped. Now, can anyone tell me the difference between a E4500 and a E2200? Both are listed as Core 2 Duo, and both are 2.2GHz. I'm still comfused.
