im doing a full upgrade is my current psu up to the job which is a: "Tagan TG480-U01 480W ATX2.0 SLi Compliant Silent PSU (CA-000-TG)"

http://www.overclockers.co.uk/acatalog/Tagan_Power_Supplies.html#aCA_2d000_2dTG

The machines use will be heavy gaming and I plan on overclocking the system, if my current psu is not suitable then please can you make any reccommendations?

Thanks in advance from dan 🙂
 
It'd handle it, but i'd prefer the Enermax Liberty 500W or the S12 430W.

The Gigabyte 965 DS3 is a fair bit cheaper and a good overclocker as well. Go for the lower latency RAM too.

what is the matter with my current ram? what lower latency ram can you reccommend? do you think i have made the right choices with my upgrade.

on a side note I have chosen to use the xp120 along with a socket 775 adapter bracket instead of the original zalman cooler, is this ok?

many thanks, dan
