Hey everyone. Thinking about upgrading my son's PC so he'll be ready to play HL2 and Doom3. Looking at putting in the following:
Shuttle AN35N mobo (will use onboard LAN and audio)
Athlon XP 2500+ CPU (planning to OC to 2.2GHz)
Corsair 512MB PC3200 RAM or KVR PC3200
I already have the following that I'll stick in:
WD 80GB special edition HD
PowerColor 9600 Pro 128MB
LiteOn 16x DVD player
So my question is about his existing case. It's an Enlight 7250 w/ a 300W Enlight PSU. I'm thinking that this PSU would be enough to power the system. Does anyone disagree? I'd really like to get out as cheap as I can so I'd like to avoid having to purchase another case or PSU. I can get the mobo, cpu and RAM from ZipZoomFly for $229 shipped. Of course I'd prefer to order from Newegg but unfortunately I live in TN and they recently started charging sales tax here. Thanks for any advice on the PSU or the components I've chosen!
