Within the next few months, i am hoping to be upgrading my system. I am looking at upgrading my motherboard to an AM3 system with an AMD Phenom II X4 965 3.4GHz and 4GB DDR3 1600MHz RAM. I plan on re-using my hard drive and graphics card, but further down the line, I would like to upgrade to an AMD HD5850 card
Question 1) Now, would my PSU be able to handle these new parts?
Question 2) I currently have an OCZ Stealthxtreme 600W PSU. It has two 4-pin CPU connectors, would I be able to just use them both in an 8-Pin CPU socket?
Question 3) As for graphics, i have two 6-pin PCI-E connectors, newer cards need both 6-pin and 8-pin connectors. Do these cards come with 8-pin adaptors?
please answer all the questions if you can.
