    Due to a number of other peoples mishaps i have a random collection of parts to upgrade my pc with.

    I need some expert advice on which parts to use to create the best pc i can with whats available. I have €100 to spend on whichever part i should get. This is what i have:

    CPU: E6850

    Motherboards:
    AW9 D-Max (needs atx12v 2.1/2 PSU

    6Gb of various ram in 1gb pairs 800mhz to 1066mhz

    PSU Antec Bp500u (not atx12v 2.1/2) Antec Neo 550 (broken) can be RMAed and is atx12v 2.1/2.

    2x Sapphire 512mb HD 4870s

    Atm im using a P4 pc with one HD4870 in it, the AW9 is Crossfire but old, to make it work i need a new PSU. So i can buy a new one or RMA the 550. Or i can buy a new motherboard a newer model.

    PSU or Mobo ?


    Anyone got an opinion on what i should get/do. Whatever i dont use will go on adverts, not particularly bothered by Crossfire but am in a position where i could use it.

    thanks
