i can not change it in this build case the power supply is a part of a "kit" and comes with all the other stuff ... but i will consider buying another one later... and ps: is there a risk of these crappy power supplies frying out something?

Post by: ~:Dhruv:~ on August 26, 2009, 07:18:40 AM: yes there is.... well not exactly fry out but they have high failure rates n other problems.....

Get a Tagan , Corsair or Antec supply while you are at it.
Swap it out in the case....

Post by: Bhawan on August 26, 2009, 09:33:53 AM: it comes with free lifetime warranty... so i guess i don't have to worry much... but yea ur right... there are some bad review for this thing... i'l try to get another one.. thanks everyone.

Post by: Tec_ on August 26, 2009, 10:45:13 AM: look at changing the case as well. budget caes such as the one you picked out are flimsy and poorly constructed
Title: Re: My budget uber powerful build [almost final]
Post by: psp339 on August 31, 2009, 06:53:57 AM: Get the Western Digital 1TB Black series instead. Choose another case and psu because Ultra isn't that good. Some brands I recommend getting for the PSU are Corsair, Antec, and PC Power & Cooling.

Post by: ~:Dhruv:~ on August 31, 2009, 07:06:29 AM: Yeah.. i didnt see that Go for a Western Digital HDD , the best out there.

I was gonna say that, but he's also including a monitor + keyboard + mouse... £750 is about... $1200 USD? Something like that. Add $300ish for monitor, mouse, and keyboard and you're up to $1500. I guess if you REALLY look hard you could build one for... $1400, but $1200 is kinda low imo. I recently built a comparable computer, tad lower in processor specs (not an i7, not DDR3) and without monitor, keyboard, mouse, and not counting cost of the processor I came to about $700 USD.
