Hey, I'm upgrading my living room PC and allowing it to play games on it, previously it was a C2D E7500, pretty crap.

So, i plan on upgrading it with under 100USD, (live in SG to under 150SGD).

Here it is:

What do you think of it? The X5450 is a Core 2 Quad Q9650 equivalent but it is better binned with the highest quality silicon and thus better overclocks and it's cheap as well. LGA 771 to 775 mod.

Nice that the GTX 670 would come with a pre installed Arctic Accelero Twin Turbo!

Also is it possible to use the 6/8 pin connectors from my 24/7 mining rig (which is why there is such a overkill PSU). My mining rig is currently only using ~650W or so. My main PSU only has one 6 pin. Will anything detrimental to the parts happen if the mining rig suddenly shuts off while i am gaming, or must i plug out the 6/8 pin connectors to the mining PSU every time i am done using this PC.

Thanks for your time.

 

TL;DR can i use a power supply from a mining 24/7 rig to power my graphics card in this rig?
