PSU I've always loved highest quality psu's most first time builders wont be able to handle no modular cabling with finesse to move it discretely out of the way.

Although a 500w psu can Handel a 260 or 4870 just fine 600w one would be best to handle any gpu. Although i am a deep fan of PC Power and Cooling (the current psu in my case) the similar priced 750w one i love to death it is not modular and would strongly recommend it if you don't want or care about modular cabling

The 750w Corsair tx and the pc power and cooling psu are very much equal in power amps and both being single rail are perfect

imo i would side with pc power and cooling i do 1 fan small in the back allows for larger heatsinks in the psu is my take in cooling.

But both are quality psu which would stay cool either way.


I to use a Quad core i care much more about multitasking then fps in a game. :D



O_o awesome, i also love power and cooling psu, got one for my ex GF the 750 pink one sf75 something iirc XD

a 550 watt can handle a 4870x2 : )

I think only basic organizational skills are required to manage non modular psu, but i have been wrong before.

750tx is still cheaper ;p

now for the fanboism test, what do you prefer nvidia or Ati?

or are you a normal human being, who buys whats the best bang for your buck at the time?

also i can't stress enough to anyone reading this how important it is to have a trustworthy PSU in your system.

Lol that price is way off it's half that price now...
That more like GTX 275 price

750 gig 7200.10 is off by about 30 dollars

A non burning dvd rom drive off by 4 dollars

E8400 price is off by 20

Corsair mem is off by 20 at that speeds and size.

Maybe that his build when he bought it err i'd say about a year ago 1/2.

the e8400 doesnt seem like the best choice in that price range anymore seeing as how the phenom ii 920 was selling for exactly the same price on newegg about a week ago, though i havent seen any benchmarks but i wouldn't think there would be a huge difference in performance (never know though). for anything between duals and the i7, phenom ii is probably the best choice right now.

phe 920 runs games fine but everything else runs like a mid rage intel i think around a Q8300 which is about the same price i believe?. An E8400 is still a much better gaming processor. E8400 is a much better oc.er and runs cooler 125w vs 65w.The Phenom ii 720 for about 100 is a very popular choice a great gaming cpu for it's price. The 920 is not the same although amd fan boys try to reason it out it's still a ton better then the pervious processors amd was producing.

some people might find the additional proccessing power more useful than a few fps though

btw prices on newegg dropped again right now the 920 is 169 while the 940 is 189 haha
