I think my current computer is starting to show its age. I put together this rig about 4 years ago and it was a budget build even back then.
My specs are:
Intel C2D E6400 @ 2.13ghz (can't overclock it cuz my motherboard is shitty)
super cheap asus motherboard
2gb of shitty ram @ 500mhz
Nvidia 9800gt 512mb (replacing a dead 7600gt)
OCZ 500W PSU (bought it when i bought the 9800gt, replacing a 350W PSU)
seagate 3.5" 250gb 5400rpm hdd 8/16mb memory (can't remember which)
Generic mid tower case
Windows 7 professional 64bit
As you can see, it's a pretty shitty computer. And here's the stuff that i'm looking at:
AMD phenom II x6 1090T black edition + MSI 790FX ATX AM3 for 270 bucks:

4gb of cheap DDR3 1600mhz ram for 45 bucks:

I also need a new HDD, preferably 1 or 2TB. So, i would appreciate it if somebody could choose something for me ([URL]http://www.ncix.com/products/index.php?minorcatid=109[/URL]).
Is the PSU going to be able to handle these new parts? I'm trying to avoid upgrading the other parts, for now.
Comments are appreciated.
don't get the x6, it's a bad buy because bulldozer is coming very soon and sandy bridge is already out
Either wait for bulldozer or get a mid AM3 cpu and an AM3+ motherboard and upgrade the cpu in the future
k, i guess i'll wait for a bit then.

Anyways, will that psu be able to support all these new parts? Can it be reused?
