6300 Gigabyte DS3 mobo 2GB ram 8600 Ultra 250gb HD
I will not be overclocking, and I will not be upgrading this machine in the future.
So far I've been looking at: - OCZ ModStream 520w ATX2.2 (£58 ) - 520W Corsair HX Series Modular PSU, ATX, EPS12V, whisper quiet, 5 year warranty (£69) - 535W Enermax FMA SLi EG565AX-VE(W)-SFMA (20 + 4Pin) PCI-E R aPFC Quiet (£58 ) - 530w Tagan EasyCon - TG530-U15 - 2Force Silent Modular PSU (£67)
I'm on quite a tight budget so price is important, but I also want a reliable and quiet PSU. I don't know much about PSUs.. but the modular connections seem cool, so which do u recommend for me?
Well, for that system with your average other stuff below: 1. Floppy drive 2. 2 x dvd drives 3. Printer 4. 2 x case fans and 8800GTX (8600 wasn't on the list), actually comes to 392W, at peak cpu load. Obviously you'll need to check what amps you need on the 12V rails for the graphics card (just take the 8800 into account) and you'll be set.
