why do you want to waste so much money on the power supply and the main board. There are cheaper options and as long as you dont want to overclock anyway you dont need an expesive main board or PSU.


Not looking for a mobo with the bare minimum features.
The sale on the PSU is hard to give up.

No no no you have it all wrong. Buy that $29.99 PSU and when it blows a cap and shits all over your motherboard you get to replace 2 parts instead of 1.

I warned someone about using a cheap Roswell and 2 GPUs a motherboard and PSU later he still went cheap.

I thought you meant in general. Didn't look at the specs of the Pro4S until now. That's a great board. In regards to the power supply, as others have said it's the last thing you'd want to cheap out on.
