    Building New PC

    MSI K8N Neo4-F
    OCZ PC-3200 DDR400 Premier Series 1GB (2x512MB) Dual Channel Kit CAS2.5
    BFG GeForce 7800GT OC
    AMD Athlon 64 3700+ 2.2GHz
    Western Digital 160gigs

    I did one of those power supply tests and came out with 300W but the 7800GT alone recommends 350W. I will probably overclock my vid card and Mboard. what would you recommend?? I was thinking of maybe the OCZ Modstream 450W but I dunno if I need that much

    It never hurts to have too much you would stuggle to find 300w psu that would run that despite what the tester says. I would reccomend a 460w akasa Paxpower good psu and well priced

    Another vote for the Hiper - I've got its predecessor - The 480w Type-R. The Powersupply really is key to a stable system and so buy a decent one. Just a note on the Spec, if you haven't already bought it, it might be worth buying 1x1Gb RAM stick, instead of 2x512, as when you go to 2Gb, as you will if you want to run BF2 properly, then it will overclock better.
