I am planing on purchasing this combo http://www.tigerdire...e...65&CatId=14 as a start to upgrading my outdated main pc. My questions are, I currently have an agi 300w power supply, will that be sufficient to run this board and 2 ide drives until i upgrade the case and power supply? Secondly, i currently am running 2 ultra 512 mem sticks, 1 is 333mgz and the other is 400mgz, are those compatible with this mobo? Lastly i have a 128meg visiontec9250 vid card, is the onboard vid better than this card? All of these components i plan on replacing anyway but one at a time.
my new msn is berencam@triforceknights.com

I'm only going to not troll you since you're berencam.

First of all, don't buy from tiger direct. Their support (for when your [censored] breaks) is terrible and their shipping (rates and how they ship the product) is also terrible.

Secondly, when you go to upgrade a PC, it is generally better to buy and upgrade all the parts at once instead of buying them one at a time because by the time you buy the second part the first one will be outdated and will become a bottleneck, etc.

AMD is pig disgusting, it runs hot and doesn't perform as well as Intel does, but if you prefer AMD and have a decent cooler to keep the fires of hell (which by the way, the 6000+ series runs as hot as) at bay, then by all means go for it.

For your memory question, you are going to need to upgrade your memory to a decent speed, this is not 1998 and you will need a bit faster RAM in this motherboard. The slowest memory this board will address is 667MHz DDR2, and judging by the speed of your current memory, they are probably DDR sticks.

Next, this motherboard has no onboard memory to compare to your old video card. I'm guessing it uses either a PCI or an AGP connection. If it uses PCI you'll be fine using it on this board, however if it's AGP, you can't use it with this board and will have to upgrade your video card too. Below is a comparison of AGP versus PCI, PCI is on the left and AGP is on the right.

This board will, however, be able to support your two IDE devices just fine.

You might want to get a bit more powerful of a power supply, though, [link]

Here's a quick list of components I put together based on the price you gave me, with an Intel Processor, guaranteed to work together.

ASUS P5Q Pro Turbo LGA 775 Intel P45 ATX Intel Motherboard - Retail
Intel Core 2 Duo E7400 Wolfdale 2.8GHz 3MB L2 Cache LGA 775 65W Dual-Core Processor - Retail
G.SKILL 2GB (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 1066 (PC2 8500) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory Model F2-8500CL5D-2GBPK - Retail
SAPPHIRE 100265HDMI Radeon HD 4830 512MB 256-bit GDDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready CrossFire Supported Video Card - Retail
or if you prefer NVIDIA:
EVGA 512-P3-N866-TR GeForce 9600 GT Superclocked Edition 512MB 256-bit GDDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Supported Video Card - Retail

Total price: $266.97
that's without shipping or taxes, but those aren't usually much.

Have fun building your computer and if you have any more questions don't hesitate to send me a PM or email me.
