what wattage PSU?

[Nick Smith]

I around may/june time i was thinking about upgrading my graphics card from a 7600GT to a 8800GTS depending on how much cash i have, so i was just wondering what wattage PSU i should get, i was thinking of a 520W corsair or maybe a 620W corsair so i can add more stuff to it later without having to upgrade for a while, as there not exactly really expensive and they seem to be decent build quality. if anyone can reccomend anonther brand of PSU that wouls also be welcome, thanks

The hoards who have had to send them back after failing in the last month or 2 wouldn't say the same I'd imagine. It's almost going beyond worrying now how many have blown.

Hiper's had their time, and will probably do so again, but this isn't one of them.

No its not...avoid...they are average.
OCZ/Enermax/Seasonic/Silverstone/Corsair...these are the units you should be gunning for

I've just ordered a Corsair HX620. It's ready to collect from the delivery place. Can't wait and I also have my Lian Li A10B to hand ready to pair them :-)
Now don't know whether to sell the Antec Truepower 2.0 and Cavalier case or save them for another build.. maybe for folding but i like the idea of SFF too

I'd look to get something with a bit higher wattage as you might SLI etc.

I'm thinking of getting a 8800GTX or R600 and presently have a conroe, 5 h/drives and a x1900xt running on a 520w OCZ modstream and am thinking of upgrading to a 750w minimum.

[dave87]

depends whether his motherboard supports SLi really...

im not sure if it does, ill have a look

edit: and no it doesnt
