I got plenty of all that for sure. My P/S is much to large. The CPU cooler is plain huge for the CPU I got. I don't know what the memory could do but I just run it at stock speeds. When I build a rig, I try to buiild it like a tank. The military type tank. I try to build to last at least 7 or 8 years maybe 9. I'm sort of disappointed if this mobo is going out already. It's way to early for my liking. I think it is only like 3 years old. My old Abit was about 8 years old and it was working fine, just slowly. ;-) Dale :-) :-) -- I am only responsible for what I said ... Not for what you understood or how you interpreted my words!
