Default Upgrading computer
I am planning on basically upgrading my computer by changing the Motherboard, CPU, PSU, and computer case.

MoBo: ASUS A8N-SLI Premium - OEM

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...2E16813131540R

CPU: AMD Athlon Venice 3500 or 3200

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16819103533

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16819103535

PSU: XCLIO XClio 450BL ATX 450W

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16817189003

Case: APEX PC-115 Beige Steel ATX Mid Tower

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16811154017

And the Hardware I already have and will add to the computer will be:

ATI Radeon 9200, Kingston 1GB DDR PC2700 RAM

And my computer model is a Compaq S4010CL

I am wondering if that is the best PSU I could get that has dual 12v on it.

Is the rest a good buy?

I want it to be a gaming PC, and Dual core processors aren't really for gamers

erm...yes they are. Well, maybe not at this second, but they are much more future proof then single core. More and more games/apps will be made to use dual core.

I know they will be better in the future, but building your own computer will always be cheaper than buying one from Dell, Compaq, ect..So I can just upgrade it later

If you want a gaming pc, I don't think a 9200 can do much gaming...you should probably go with a 6600 if ure on a tight budget
