as of right now when I try and play games my comp reboots durin the middle of a nice bf2 game. Now for a long time(6 months) I assumed this was due to my generic 500 watt psu. I still think this is the case, but, when I went lookin for new psu's I found the one I wanted which was OCZ PowerStream 520 watt. I have a MSI 480M2-IL micro atx mobo. The psu I want is normal ATX. That got me thinkin about gettin a new motherboard, DFI LanParty/or DFI Ultra. I did a little research and found out these boards tend to "like" native 24 pin connector psu's. I am not sure what pins this OCZ I am lookin at has.
Then, after, I get my bare minimum down (psu/mobo) I was gonna buy a new vid card. I looked around ALOT. I found that the BFG 6800GTOCX wouyld best suite my needs for 300 bucks. Plus it is sli supported so once I get enough courage I can buy another one. Then , I found out the OCZ powerstream is not sli compatible. IS it or isnt it ? can i make it ? too many choices. So originally i wanted to just buy a new vid card and be set, but thats not what will get my machine up to par and workin good.
My current machine
AMD64 939 pin 3000+
Mobo is MSI RS480M2-IL Micro ATX
Nvidia 6200 TC
generic 500 watt psu
80 gig IDE hdd
What i want my machine to be
AMD64939 pin 3000+
DFI LanParty UT nF4-D Socket 939 NVIDIA nForce4-4X ATX AMD
BFG 6800GT OCX PCIE
OCZ PowerStream 520 Watt
Maybe a 250 Gig SATA Hitachi
Any incompatibilty issues i might be overlooking besides the psu not havin sli support right now( i prolly wont have sli anyways, just would be nice to know that i could if i wanted)?
