and definitely don't forget the power cord if you need one for the power supply! (you can select it from the drop down menu on the power supply page after adding the power supply to your cart)

I'd buy your Printrboard if you still have it.  I could use a spare. 

My experience has been different than most; I've had consistent good luck with my Printrboard.  I've flashed the firmware for the E3Dv6, added a gcode fan and expansion ports.  The only problems I've had with it have been self-inflicted ( zapped the gcode fan output by accidentally shorting the headers...so I'm now running on my 'spare').

I might be biased as well, but I REALLY like the heat bed that PrintIt offers. so slim and light, yet heats quickly and evenly. I have one on each of my SD4s and love them! They work so well I have actually been able to reduce the bed temp by 10 degrees C with zero adhesion problems (and thinking about dropping it a little more).

the power supply they offer is also quite reliable - I have 2 of those as well (again, one on each of the SD4s) and I have a spare in case I need it for one of my other printers.

where I can get a good SPU and heated bed (for printing ABS),
and matched together for the high temp.?

ditch the Printrboard with it's non-replaceable stepper drivers and get something better, easier to setup and maintain.
My personal preference is Rumba, but Ramps 1.4 is pretty good too...

and I am learning about the MKS Gen 1.4 as well with my new FT-5 - seems like a capable board and also fairly easy to set up. Havent had it long enough yet to really recommend it at this point tho.

Alternatively, Filastruder offers the Duet, which I have heard nothing but great feedback on.
