Help me with my upgrade please

[Jim]

I haven't found a solution yet. I am returning the motherboard and power supply for a refund. I plan to then buy them locally and get someone to install them for me.

Take stock of what you have after you return it ALL...you might do better buying a New Comp retail they are so inexpensive & GOOD :D

Although I've been lucky, so far, with my upgrade of my Alienware Area 51 , next time I'll buy retail again [not to include HP or Compaq] :P
