PSU Died / Fried - Possibly CPU / MB too - Need Advice

I'm going to go with the P4P800-E and a new power supply and hope the CPU still works. Couple more questions .. 1. What power supply should I get? Ideally it's one that will run the P4800E as well as my Conroe build once it becomes available. 2. What things should I be aware of when...

PSU Died / Fried - Possibly CPU / MB too - Need Advice

Assuming I did not fry my CPU and go this route, a couple of questions: 1. Will I need to buy a whole new 1.5gigs of ram? (ie: is the 2700 obsolete?) 2. Why do you recommend a micro-atx board? The P4S533 was standard ATX and that would mean I would need to purchase a new case as well. 3...

I've done all of that and more unfortunately. I basically had the MB out of the case and isolated on a piece of plastic with only the CPU, RAM, and Video plugged in. Still no luck.

Upgrade Help Please

I'm playing in some new game betas and I'm beginning to think my CPU and MB are becoming a major bottleneck in my system. I need a recommendation for an upgrade path if there is smart one right now, or whether I should hold out. One thing to keep in mind is that I am a stark Intel fan and...
