Totally up to you I'm just giving you my thought and I’ve seen and read too many bad PSU experiences in my time, that gaming case looks terrible and it's cheap and its small it was on OcUK for about 2 years and no one bought itYoshimo said:bleh, all these parts except the case, were selected in a gaming PC tech forum.
also this PSU was recommended by Komplett and got 5 stars out of 5 by every review.
Oo after hours and hours of hate filled debate!
On the same system he has?Coolan said:Using the older version of the psu myself, mine just dosnt have the glowy lights on it, and ive never had any problems with it.
Yoshimo said:possibly best birthday present ever?
Yes there a nice brand but it's just not up to the job. Wattage doesn't mean shit its purely down to the amp's on each rails and +12V is the most important i.e there is a 400W Tagan PSU that is 3x stronger then some 600W crap branded piece of shit you paid £20 for. NVIDIA recommands at least a 20A on +12v on the PSU for 9050 so you will probbly need 25A / 30A to have a nice stable system with some overclocking protenial.Sycho said:Tagan are amongst the best branded psus actually....
You'll need a bit more watts though, go for around 500w to be safe.
Go for a lian-li case/coolermaster/antec too.
I would agree that tagan/ocz/enermax/antec/FSP are the best PSUs, my favourite is Enermax. Didn’t you ever get taught that the current means everything in power?Sycho said:Wattage means more than you think, however unstable rails do suck ass but still i would say tagan/ocz/enermax/antec are best psus, there is no best out of those in my view.
Yes of course these branded ones are better than the shit you get in pre built pcs or those non branded ones aswell, i've had a few tagan/antec psus and all been stable.

If you dont twist Gimmly's words you might notice that he didn't say wattage means shit, he said wattage means shit if the rails are shit As for me, well, I never said you dont know about rails, I just posted a picture proving wattage means less than you think.Sycho said:I know rails are what matters most just that gimmly said watts meaned shit which isn't true.
I've been using pc components for 5 years now so have quite a good amount of experience with them but as usual when you post something on forums people try to twist your words by saying stuff you never said.
I never twisted, you twisted mine but yeah obviously the wattage plays a big part behind ampage.Sycho said:I know rails are what matters most just that gimmly said watts meaned shit which isn't true.

Then I'm sure you realize that those tests weren't about how much gfx-cards use juice, it was about how much that computer uses with different gfx-cards and the point being that even with 7950GX2 @ Quad Sli it doesn't take 400w.Sycho said:I already knew how much gfx cards used.
With the Tagan PSU with the single 22A 12v rail he posted? Yea I am sure you do mate I would re check you're specs. For that setup you just posted you would need at least 30A to even boot it. My setup is similar:Coolan said:in answer to ur question gimmly
Asus A8n-Sli Premium
amd 4000+ @ 2.6ghz
2x BFG 7800gt's
1gig ram
3hd's cant remember exacts without checking and tbh cba
I prefer the Gainward you had in the first place and I personally wouldn't buy anything that has MSI on it. But it's a nice system with either cards so go for it.Yoshimo said:
