    Help with this build

    Throwing together some old parts and I wanted to see what the feed back was.

    Antec Nine Hundred ATX Mid Tower  (4 fans)

    Asus Crosshair AM2 Nvidia nForce 590 ATX AMD

    AMD 6400+ X2  3.2ghz Black Edition

    4gb G.Skill 240 DDR2 1066 Dual Channel

    EVGA 512-P3-N871-AR GeForce 9800 GTX+ 512mb 256bit GDDR3

    2x WD 150gb 10000rpm

    HEC 585w PSU

     

    The only thing i bought was the PSU and yes i know its under powered and probably c**p, but i couldn't resist the price and the reviews weren't half bad. My main concern would be that it wont be able to power the system at all. Any help or input would be greatly appreciated.

    Here is a wattage calculator

     

    Lol @ the "old parts".  A pair of 150 GB Raptors and a 9800 GTX. 

    I am running a single 74 GB raptor, a 8800 GTX and I have those RAM sticks in my main rig. but I power it with a PCP&C 750 watt PSU

    Please Help

    Ok so i installed the mobo, cpu, psu, graphics card, and ram into my case. Tried to start everything up and got it to boot for about 15 seconds i would be able to get to the bios, after that it would crash. It would crash right after the lcd poster said "DET IDE".This happened repeatidly after clearing CMOS. With no luck in resolving the problem i went to sleep. (btw the cpu would get very hot quickly to the point where it would be too hot to touch after 10-15 seconds)

    I figured it was probably the voltage of the ram so i went and picked 1gb of dd2 @ 667mhz today. After installing the new ram and clearing CMOS same symptom. Crashing after about 15 seconds.

    Being very frustrated i pulled the mobo, cpu, ram and psu out of my case and set it on my desk. I then tried clearing cmos and booting, but no luck same response as before.

    Any help in resolving my problem would be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks
