Looking to upgrade my HTPC from an 4200 X2 to something a little more snappier..
Just replaced PS with this.

suggestions on what would be a safe CPU overhead wise for the system. Mention that I would be upgrading MB as well.

in the box: 1 250g HD, 1 500g HD, Blu ray rom, 3750 HD vid card.

thanks!

Bad link.

What motherboard do you use? That's more important than what PSU you have when determining an upgrade.

ok maybe I should be more specific.
I have a htpc and am running an amd 4200 x2, 2 gig ram, vista business, and am getting full cpu usage and pauses running blu ray movies. Additionally I have a 3650HD in the box.

Should my system be able to handle this? I'm running VLC to watch the movies.
thanks!
