Attempting to build a system, will this work together?

Rosewill R5601-BK ATX Mid Tower Computer Case

BIOSTAR TA770 A2+ ATX AMD Motherboard

CORSAIR XMS2 2GB 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400)

Western Digital Caviar RE WD1600YS 160GB 7200 RPM SATA 3.0Gb/s Hard (x2)

AMD Phenom 9500 2.2GHz Quad-Core Processor


Can anyone recommend a power supply with a 24 pin motherboard connection and an 8 pin CPU connection for this system, have a 360gig external eSATA back up, will be running XP pro and haven’t made up my mind on the video card yet thinking about the Radeon HD 3850 so I would guess a 600watt supply will due.
Also I have read that this processor’s heat sink is not that great can you recommend a better one.

Having read a few of your post I am sure you know much more than I about this, I looked at this power supply earlier and it has a 4 pin CPU connection rather than an 8. does it have 2 I use together or is it just not listed. As for the motherboard, I will consider the change but it will mean adding a card for my eSATA back-up as it does not have one nor does the case. Changing to this board I can probably increases my ram to a 1066 correct? Would make it worth the extra card

thank you for your reply

Lol dont worry about it. Yes you can upgrade to 1066, but you wont see much performance increase over 800 from it. i recommend it because GIGABYTE makes excellent quality boards. Biostar is ok, but i prefer Gigabyte. My own personal PC (now in storage for moving =P) uses the Gigabyte GA-P35-DS3R board, and works fantastically. The chipset is slightly better, as well as support for ATi Crossfire if you ever choose to use it. I can highly recommend this memory- Newegg.com - Crucial Ballistix Tracer 2GB (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory - Retail
