TechSpot Enthusiast Posts: 324      Im looking to upgrade my
5200 to a nice phenom II 940. Ive got these in mind.
GeForce 8200 HDMI 1333Mhz FSB AMD Socket AM2+ DDR2 ATX SLI Ready
Motherboard £67 ($100)      Phenom II X4 940 Black Edition
3.0GHz Cache 8MB AM2+ 125W Processor - Retail     £125 ($190)
will it be fine with my 600watt PSU?      oh and it is better to
have a great graphics card and a decent cpu rather than a great
cpu and a decent grahpics card?   2. raybay TechSpot Evangelist

need a "hot" or super fast one.     Graphics cards fail way too
often...     So do a google search on each video graphics card
and read up all you can... A lot of those with suddenly lower
prices are getting bad histories.     Look on all the sites,
such as Toms, anandtech, and others for a few different reviews.
Go for reliability and
