To run:

AMD x2 550BE (unlocked 3rd and 4th cores)

4 gig OCZ ram

2 hard drives

1 optical drive

gigabyte 5830

a corsair H50

I need a new cpu cooler, but im not sure if my psu will be able to power all that stuff, I have 6 in-case fans too. Also can anyone tell me how well the H50 is?

A good quality 600W psu should run all that easily.

Concerning the H50, from what I've heard it is a pretty decent cooler.

I was thinking of upgrading from my x2 550be too. I noticed this--> http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819103702&cm_re=athlon_2_x4-_-19-103-702-_-Product for the sub-$100 range. Paired with a 5830 and 4gig ram do you think I could pull 40-50 fps medium settings in BFBC2?

don't give watts; tell us how many 12V Amps it can supply. And, is it off-brand?

18? Are you sure that's not just on one rail? I think it probably is. Anyway, I am certain it would be enough.

The H50 is a good cooler. I get 35c-36c idle temps with my 965BE and around 53c under full load.
