Is this motherboard and gpu compatible? and will 450 watt psu be sufficient?

[Xblade]

GPU:

PNY XLR8 9800 GT EE 512MB PCI-Express 2.0 DVI + DVI + HDTV/SDTV Graphics Card VCG98GT5EEXEB


Motherboards:
Intel DG41RQ Motherboard CPU Bundle - Intel Core 2 Duo E7400 2.80GHz Retail Processor

PSU:
L & C Model: Lc-B540 E
+5V & + 3.3V COMBINED LOAD 230W
+5V & + 3.3V & 12V COMBINED LOAD 422W
Total output is 450W max


Could someone explain to me how much other required compenents would weigh on the psu? I'm a complete noob at building pcs and would like someone to explain if this combo is gonna work.

EDITED COMPONENTS.

Are they Compatible?: Yes

Is this PSU enough?: I wouldn't bet on it

There's no way to tell without listing what other components you are using. You should always look at your PSU's individual voltage rails in terms of amperage, not wattage. From the figures above, I can deduce the amperage of your 12V (most important rail):

422W - 230W = 192W / 12V = 16A on the 12V rail

Your CPU, GPU, HDD(s), and optical drive(s) all pull current from the 12V rail. The CPU and GPU together pull the greatest amount of current. You should also list which CPU you are planning to use. Also, why a 9500GT? I know they're cheap, but I think you should go no lower than a 9600GT.

Finally, you should use newb, not noob, unless you plan on making this a Gameman-style thread.

If I understood more than half of what you just said then I would just decide myself
Question: Will a Pci express x16 2.0 carrd be compatible with a pcie x16?

What are saying? Would you like a suggestion? If so, just give us a budget to work with for the power supply.

Yes.

Yes, only multigpu cards benefit from the additional bandwidth of 2.0.

This is from the Canadian newegg.com site:

Newegg.ca - KINGWIN ABT-450MM 450W ATX 12V Ver.2.2 SLI Ready Power Supply - Power Supplies - $40CAD

Not too shabby. I've built a few gaming systems for customers on a budget and I've used Kingwin before. No problems with that brand whatsoever.

I got 500 bucks to work with atm.
I already have tons of dvd rs mouses keyboards and a large Xblade pc case so that don't fit into the equation. Also got the 250 gig hard drive from my previous pc..

450 watts for this card is really pushing it. It might be enough if the system has only the very basics (a single HDD, mouse, keyboard and a single disc drive) but if there are more stuff (including expansion cards, USB devices, etc.) connected then go for something that's 150-250 watts more powerful (that depends on the PSU power efficiency).

Just needs a CPU cooler, some thermal grease, and RAM. Someone else will have to chime in on these and (maybe) recommend a different board. Beyond my laptop, I've skipped the Core2 generation, so someone else will need to lend their product expertise. I'm here for the power supply recommendation.

The 450W PSU I have recommended is more than enough for a 9800GT. It provides enough power on the 12V rail alone to power an OCed CPU and GPU. Multi-GPU with 2 OCed 9800GTs is really pushing it on that PSU.

If thats compatible with the components above then its a very sexy price. 0_o

I've seen people run a GTX260 on corsair's 450W VX. this one should be able to handle a 9800Gt no problem.

I'm also building a pc same to this but its gonna be mATX.

[Squall-Leonhart]

ahhh
Lonewolf, Corsair under-rate their psu's, the 620HX is capable of 720W before load errors start occuring.

Thats just another reason to buy corsair power supplies.

[Bubbafat]

My opinion is to stray away from an intel board. For around 65$ there are much better out there such as something like this, intel boards have been shotty in past experiences

Newegg.com - MSI P43 Neo-F LGA 775 Intel P43 ATX Intel Motherboard - Intel Motherboards

Ive read some good reviews on them and my dad ran one for over a year and a half with no issues. But i havnt tried it myself. so i cant be certain

you can get the Gigabye GA-EG31MF-S2. It has 4 ram slot and 7.1 sound. though G31 chipset can support only 4gb of ram.

My mother bought a gigabyte board abou 2 years ago, fried two 250 gig hard drives. No thnx :3

OFF TOPIC: My internet has been down for about 15 hours and now tghat its back up its running so smoothly 0_o. You think my isp upgraded their tower or something?

Motherboards don't fry hard drives.

Power supplies fry harddrives.

I see, so that means that mother board is still good........but it doesn't have a PCI Express x16 slot so its epic fail to me.
