Trying to assemble a budget system with the following components:
MB: ASUS M4A785TD-V EVO
CPU: Athlon II X4 620
MEM: 4GB
HD: SATA x1
CD/DVD: x2
I would like to reuse my old power supply -- a good quality PC POWER & COOLING 410 watt (w/ 23amps on a single +12v rail). I would need to get a 20pin -> 24 pin adapter for the main power connector but the existing 4 pin +12v ATX power connector would work just fine.
Would this arrangement work? Am I trying (as usual) to be too cheep? Or should I just suck it up and spring for a new power supply?
All replies appreciated (flames included).
