I have just been giving the task to build a mid range system for a friend the budget £260 I bought the following
Foxxconn 945PL7AE 775 motherboard
INTEL E2180
Crucial 2GB PC6400 DDR2 Memory
Seagate 160GB SATS-II HDD
Sapphire HD3450 256mb PCI-E Card
Galaxy Balck Mid Tower ATX Casing
Hanson 19" TFT Widescreen monitor
Now I got all that for £258 the PSU that comes with the casing is 450w it has a 4 pin 12v rail on it but the board has a 8pin socket will it be safe to use that on this board with that CPU/Set-Up above.
I have googled and some forums posts have said the 8pin is to be used with extreme high end CPU's from INTEL.
