First you get a Welcome to the Computer Forum! http://www.computerforum.com/70672-official-welcome-thread.html and the reminder given to new members to review the http://www.computerforum.com/52038-forum-rules.html

If you are planning to spend the money to upgrade hardwares why a 754 single channel type board when you could go newer and utilitize the dual channel mode on a 939 if not AM2 type board? The supply there looks like it's worth about $5 compared to the supply guidelines you can review http://www.computerforum.com/90118-useful-psu-guides.html depending on the type of system you have and plan on.

The prices seen on 939 models are low. You could even go for a full sized board offering more features rather then a micro atx model. The one thing to note on new boards however is having a case with good air flow. That will help keep all temps lower. What kind of budget are you working with there?
 
The PSU should power a fairly low-end card, but it would be pushing it... I'd also suggest looking into a better GPU. Perhaps a 7600 or 8600 series if you are going to upgrade. I know the 7600's are quite low power cards...
 
On the 939 build I'm passing along to a family member I had no major problems running games and multimadia alike while the MSI Radeon X1300 Pro was still a lower end model. Many complain the X1600 is a turtle while some favor the X1650 or moving upto the X1900 series cards for ATI.

That supply looks like an offname generic model where a good look at a sticky on supplies should give you some better ideas according to the type of system you are working with there. http://www.computerforum.com/90118-useful-psu-guides.html For a budget build a good 430 to 450w model would get you started with the newer 20+4pin main power connectors over the older 20pin type.
 
im only replacing n upgrading

my dad [yes, i dont make money] is only allowing me a 200$ budget, but i really dont want to spend that much on a comp...

especially on a crap emachines >. >

so if possible, can anyone offer some recommandations or setups from Newegg that wont peak the budget?

basically im looking for a new mobo, and possibly a gpu. I can see the budget allowing for more parts to be bought, but a restriction I would think of would be the PSU since its ...'shit' IMO

I'm guessing your cmop has DDR... so DDR2 will be needed. You old PSU should be able to power it... maybe...

otherwise ^

:eek: Just re-read the PSU.. 180W? Wow I'm amazed it even held to that older CPU...
 
That's eMachines for you! or any other prebuild where you are limited on options. :rolleyes:

To get into a minimum of 350-430w you will pay out over $70 for any 1/2 way decent make and model supply if it fits into the case there. You will need a heftier supply just to consider going for the low to mid range hardwares alone.

Antec has a 380w model that would hold you for awhile by simply staying with a 754 board to replace the one there. Even those 2 items will bring you close to $200 however.
