Corsair 520HX with Sandy Bridge?

[LuluTheMonk]

I currently own a Corsair 520HX that I got 3 years ago with my Q9300. I plan on getting:
i7 2600k
Some P67 board
16 gigs of ram
vertex 2 60gb
500gb 7200 rpm drive
8800 GT

And that's about it. Have motherboard/CPU connectors changed from 775 Mobo's?

Thanks.

Why such an old GPU with such a beasty CPU?

 

[LuluTheMonk]

Because its in my existing machine.
Q9300
Abit IP35E
8800GT
6GB RAM
Antec P182b
LG sata dvd-r

3 years ago, that was a pretty nice machine 🙂
Current upgrade list:
i7 2600k (on order)
ASUS P8P67 PRO (probably, not 100&#37😉
16GB G.SKILL Ripjaws Series240-Pin DDR3 1600 (purchased)
60GB Vertex 2 (purchased)

I may upgrade the GPU later, but right now I pretty much only use LR3/PS and don't play any games.

No there are no major changes. That psu will work fine.

That PSU should rock your new system with no problems.

I'm worse. I've got a i5 2500K with a 8400GS. I've got no plans for upgrading the GPU either.

Thanks for the info.

Gotta remember, not all computers are for games. Plenty of computers even make sense with huge cpus next to integrated graphics 😛
