First, how do graphics cards (in my case, the 460) should be above ambient temps in full load? Assume the ambient temp is around 20C with good air flow. Second, random question about cable management/air flow. Recently, ive been tinkering around with my girlfriends Antec 600 computer + Show Spoiler + Phenom x4 955 BE GTX460 And recently tacked on another side fan to her already cooled (stock cooled too) system. At first, i set it as a intake fan, blowing air in through the side of the machine and had little to no improvement, if anything more heat draw from her 460 during gaming. Then i decided to flip the fan around as an outake and holy shit was there a difference. my only concern as it looks ugly with the back end of the fan facing the window. That brings me to my question, is it common to have window/side fans intake or outtake, id understand how it would very system to system but is there any normal standard that they assume just intake fans? I kind of thought the intake +the giant outtake of the 200mm fan would help but didnt. Temps after playing phant-mode after a bunch of crazy shit went down. + Show Spoiler + ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/h345P.jpg) | ||

+ Show Spoiler + $300, if only parts need to be switched out that. $600, if I need to upgrade my whole computer. What is your resolution? + Show Spoiler + 1280x800 What are you using it for? + Show Spoiler + Gaming and Streaming (with little to no FPS lag) What is your upgrade cycle? + Show Spoiler + Every 2 years. When do you plan on building it? + Show Spoiler + As soon as I feel confident with the parts that I am buying. Do you plan on overclocking? + Show Spoiler + Yes, if needed. Do you need an Operating System? + Show Spoiler + Nope. Do you plan to add a second GPU for SLI or Crossfire? + Show Spoiler + No. Where are you buying your parts from? + Show Spoiler + Newegg and or Fry's.

Are you sure this PSU is great for the price of 80 bucks or are there others better? What other PSU would you reccomend that is not pricey not over 90 and like 500-600Watts? Does Newegg have any rain checks that will probably help me | ||

There is nothing better than Capstone for its price, the 450w variant for $70 is constantly sold out because it's simply the best power supply you're getting for under $100. Comparable units such as the Seasonic X goes for $120+ | ||
