I've just upgraded to an Athlon 2200+ and a K7S6A processor (and a new PSU, new memory, new hard drive and new case. Hang on. I think that's called a new computer!)

To run this I went for the QTEC 400w PSU (which has two temperature controlled fans). What it *doesn't* have is a power out connection for the monitor (you power the monitor separately) which means it doesn't need to pull so many amps.

Also I went for the Coolermaster HAC-V81 cpu cooler which has a variable speed control so you can increase the amount of cooling when required.

Ok, I'm not overclocking or doing a lot of power hungry work, but it certainly seems to handle the load fine.

I got the stuff from Redstore.com who had the most competitive prices over all.
