Alan2273 Posted March 20, 2008 Report Share Posted March 20, 2008 That will do what you want with no problems, the PSU will be powerful enough.However AM2 motherboards have a limited life as they are now up to AM2+ and AM3 boards.Going down the Pentium route gives you more scope to upgrade in the future as the Gigabye board will tale dual & Quad cores up tp a 1333mhz FSB.
