i made one thread first then made anoither to ask a question then later on realised i may aswell ask in my first thread and if i knew how to delete a thread i wud hav done ( i am new to this site).
I'd go with Corsair myself. Pay a little extra and get a high quality power unit you know you can trust, plus the 5 year warranty isn't too shabby either =)
im on a tight budget you see.... i can only afford a motherboard at tho moment..... i may have to sell some stuff to be honest :( ...... but it'll all be worth it =D
Hey it's all good, that's how I build my stuff too. Lousy bills gotta be payed and I need food on the table too. Bah =) Anyway, Corsiar recommended so you can take it from there. You don't have to purchase the most expensive one either, the 550w will do just fine as well. The only downside is tat it's non-modular so you'll have some cables laying around. With that other power supply you linked to, I think you may run out of connectors. The 650w version only has 2 sata connectors - I wonder what else it's missing .. Just an observation of course, maybe you dont need more =)
well doesn't the motherboard description say it only needs the 24pin and the 4pin from a power supply.... and I would only need 2 sata's, one for dvd drive and one for the HDD
Only 3 molex connectors as well.. 2 for the graphics card because it has no 6 pin connector, so that leaves 1 left. I wouldn't recommend that psu to anyone.
Thats better but not a brand I've heard of before so I don't know if they're any good or not. Plenty of connectors though so there's room for upgrading/adding stuff later on =) Oh yes much better than the last one for sure.
do i only need enough watts to run the power supply and gpu or is there something else that requires quite alot of watts? i have a nvidea geforce 8500 gt GPU by the way
For your setup 530w is plenty, you can even add some stuff as well. It also has plenty of amps so you're good to go. Unless you add 2 or 3 high-end graphics card, that psu will do mighty fine.
