Need mobo, ram, & psu
Hi,
I am currently building a cheap backup system and mainly for running folding @home. I just got a good deal on a AM2 X2 3800+ (65W) CPU ($95 shipped). so I am looking for a good cheap mobo that will let me overclock as much as possible on air and I will also need some good cheap DDR2 ram. Probably just need 512x2. I will also need a PSU of decent quality but I dont think I will need anything special; just a godd cheap stable PSU. any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I think I would like to stay under $100 for each item, but will take any suggestions offered. Thanks INFRNL

You have been the most helpful to me over at AMD forums. I will reply back to you over there. I havent really decided about the PSU yet, as I have jumped on the Ultra 800 x-finity for $118 shipped. I may just use this psu or take it to ebay. being that this will just be mostly for folding and a backup system to use when Im messing around with my C2d system (Overclocking, etc); I really dont need much in the way of a PSU. I have run cheap psu's in the past and havent had any problems. I guess the biggest concerns are the mobo and ram. I will see if I can find any info on the DFI mrwicked has recommended. DFI usually are best for overclocking and the price is good. Thanks and keep the recs coming please. INFRNL

Doesn't look like it has Active PFC, efficiency isn't so good, probably isn't very quiet, etc.

No APFC and not as efficient as many, but quiet, well built and cheap.
The Enhance 500W is more efficient, has APFC and is even quieter, but it costs $12 more.
