Hi there,
I Have recently just upgraded my system, as a result the OCZ 420Watt PSU is no longer enough Juice for my rig:
- Intel E6600
- Asus p5b delux
- GeiL 2gig cas4 800MHz
- BFG 8800 GTX
- 2 Sata HDD's
- 2 Optical Drives
- Creative X-Fi Platinum (w/ front faceplate)
At first I think I was looking at around the 700Watt marker, just to be safe and allow some future headroom - but I am unsure. I was also thinking of going modular, as the oibsesive/compulsive in me finds this idea quite attractive.
On top of that, I currently house my rig in a Coolermaster 201B (Black widow). Whilst the new rig fits inside it, there is little room for much else! I think the case-fans have seen better days (the noises they make are disturbing!)
So aha! Upgrade time! But what to choose?
For PSU, I am unsure, though I have been looking at some silverstone products with interest. Namly the modular 750watt variant of their supplies. Is this good? Is there a better bang for my buck?
I have also been totally lost for chassis, at the moment I think I am looking at two:
- Silverstone Temjin TJ-09 chassis
- Cooler Master Stacker 830
Does anyone have recomendations for these cases? Is there a better alternative? Is the silverstone worth the extra cash?
If anyone could shed some light on these questions I would be eternally greatful
Thanks,
