    Do 2 12v rails matter over 3 for this build?

    Hey guys,
    I was just wondering if having 2 12v rails would make any difference in this build, over 3 12v rails,

    Build:


    PSU

    If it does, I was going to get this

    Would like to get this ordered ASAP!

    Any other suggestions on parts would be welcome (but cant really deviate from that price too much :x)


    Thanks
    ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    No, you will be fine with 2, hell even 1 provided there is decent amperage coming from the PSU.

    CAT-THE-FIFTH: "The Antec 300 is a case which has an understated and clean appearance which many people like. Not everyone is into e-peen looking computers which look like a cross between the imagination of a hyperactive 10 year old and a Frog."

    for all intents it seems to be the same card minus some gays name on it and a shielded cover ? with OEM added to it - GoNz0.

    Nah no way it should matter, provided there are enough amps on them as terbinator said.
