referring to my thread over here bout photoshop: http://forums.legitreviews.com/viewtopi ... highlight=

this is the build i've come up with

case w/powersupply: COOLER MASTER Centurion RC-534-SKR5 Silver Aluminum & Mesh bezel, SECC chassis ATX Mid Tower Computer Case 430W Power Supply

mobo: ASUS M2N4-SLI Socket AM2 NVIDIA nForce 500 SLI MCP ATX AMD Motherboard

processor: AMD Athlon 64 X2 3800

ram (4 sticks): G.SKILL 1GB 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400)

vid card: EVGA 512-P2-N548-TX GeForce 7600GS 512MB 128-bit GDDR2 PCI Express x16 Video Card


that PSU gonna hold all this together, or am i going to have to make this a non-budget board and buy one separate?

The included power supply providing 19 amperes on the twelve volt rail should be sufficient for the assemblage of components listed. You will run into a power issue if you upgrade the video card to a more robust offering, but you can tackle that limitation if and when you upgrade the video.

Another slight issue would be running four sticks as I believe that you will default to a 2T command rate. You may want to install two 2 gigabytes modules so that a 1T command rate would be available.
