EPTAlso if you're serious about just playing on low, you could save a little more by getting something worse than an HD 6670, and so on.

The parts individually come to about ~$635 give or take if you were to build it yourself. ~$685 if you have NCIX build it for you. If it's possible, you should just take the NCIX build though as you can get better warranties and individual components. okay, I'll look into this, thanks | ||

An 4.8Ghz 2500k is still going to draw less than 100w in your typical consumer situation and a 6950 overclocked is still going to draw around 200w or less in the same situations. Having both fully loaded at the same time is never going to happen for 99% of the people asking this sort of question. So I don't see why you think a quality ~500w unit such as the Rosewill Capstone 450 is not a reasonable recommendation for such a configuration. If there were quality ~300w units that were reasonably priced than that would be what's recommended for the majority of non-overclocked single GPU configurations since the majority never exceed 200w. Even for someone who can't do simple conversion, all the configurations except a GTX 590 and 6990 draw less than 500w under gaming and this is with an overclocked Sandybridge-E: ![[image loading]](http://images.anandtech.com/graphs/graph5261/43137.png) Ok. Honestly I made a big mistake when I thought that efficiency was backwards. I still stand by the opinion that high OC will require an equal margin but once admitted that stock speed systems will run well on significantly lower W. I don't really have more arguments on the matter. With a decent budget and the knowledge that Ovi wants the best temperatures I think that it's not about lowest budget but best build and while the 450W Rosewell will do it it's nice with some margin still. And no need to be so hostile about it. | ||

Do you think just because it's labeled as 450w it's a 450w unit? | ||

From Japan, normal pings to Korea are <80ms, but with Starcraft it's over 300ms because of bad routing. | ||

Any suggestions? EDIT: I would also like to get my minecraft server up, so I would like a recommendation on internet speed needed for that.  | ||

Eventually I'll upgrade to 64 bit in the future probably, just a large lack of time with school going. I've just been feeling the crunch of having only 2 gig RAM lately, and thinking that even though I wouldn't get the FULL use out of 4GB+, going from 2 to 3.25 would still be a pretty significant performance increase. Core2 Duo E6850 @ 3.00 GHz (2 CPUs) GeForce GTX 560 Ti (recently installed, old one fried) 2GB RAM If you're using Win7, download the x64 version from microsoft and then reinstall --> reformat ---> type in your product key ---> choose a password ---> get whatever amount of ram you feel you need? it works fine like this... | ||

They're a reasonably large company that does manufacturing and design for all kinds of power supplies, including computer power supplies, and their stuff is of reasonable quality for the price. I don't see why a UPS from them wouldn't be okay and meet the specs they advertise. Thanks! Will go for the FSP. | ||
