Hi Andrew,
We are system builders of high end Athlon`s and the answer is No a 235
wont do !!!
If you are going to buy an Athlon up to 700 you MUST HAVE a 250
APPROVED PS (NOTE THE APPROVED !!!!!)
Over 700 you MUST have a 300 (APPROVED !!!!!)
You will get major problems if you don't :}
Eventually you will change it I promise you so get the correct one
first :}
All the best,
Brett :}
p.s.Look around ,you should be able to get a much better price for a
good case than you have quoted...e.g. we sell an excellent 250w Full
colour case for �76.00.
