Post by: H-Sauce on August 30, 2009, 12:36:03 PM: PSU Claculator said that I only needed 371W. And I'm taking the DVD drive out of my current PC.

Post by: ProperBritish on August 30, 2009, 12:54:03 PM: i wouldnt recommend it. my friend has a smiliar setup on a 500W PSU and it cuts out due to lack of power.
Title: Re: Another Build Plan.
Post by: H-Sauce on August 30, 2009, 12:58:52 PM: Ok I reeplaced it with a 700W.

Post by: ProperBritish on August 30, 2009, 01:06:42 PM: damn right

remember, you cant have too much power as the PSU will only draw what it needs.

also if you look to get a second GPU later for SLi setup, you wont need to upgrade your PSU as well :D

Title: Re: Another Build Plan.
Post by: H-Sauce on August 30, 2009, 01:46:30 PM: Tri_Cores have a forth core but it's locked. I'm going to unlock it so in effect I will have a quad core Phenom II for peanuts.

Post by: loganbyers07 on August 30, 2009, 01:52:17 PM: oh. I thought that was only on a specific tri core. I think it was the 8850?
Title: Re: Another Build Plan.
Post by: H-Sauce on August 30, 2009, 02:00:04 PM: Yeah, But they've done it one a 720 too.
Title: Re: Another Build Plan.
Post by: PhenomenalDesigns on August 30, 2009, 02:09:58 PM: Dude, i had the same power supply, the exact same, it blew on me the other day, so i went with the 460W coolermaster

I was lucky it didnt fry my components
Title: Re: Another Build Plan.
Post by: loganbyers07 on August 30, 2009, 02:30:33 PM: Okay. I see. Well wouldnt that cause the proccessor to get really hot though? Since I would imagine that they shut off that other core for a reason.
Title: Re: Another Build Plan.
Post by: H-Sauce on August 30, 2009, 02:32:33 PM: They only lock it of for marketing purposes.
Title: Re: Another Build Plan.
Post by: psp339 on August 31, 2009, 06:49:05 AM: I would choose a better quality case like Antec or Coolermaster. A Corsair, Antec, or PC Power& Cooling power supply should be better quality. Instead of getting Hitachi, I would get a Western Digital 1TB Black series. Get a Samsung for the DVD burner.

Post by: H-Sauce on August 31, 2009, 02:53:12 PM: I have heard good things from NZXT so I will stick with them. I'm pushing my budget now. And if you read you would see I'm getting a DVD-Drive out of my current PC. Hitachi will do me just fine, No point paying extra for almost no reason.
Title: Re: Another Build Plan.
Post by: ProperBritish on August 31, 2009, 06:40:42 PM: apart from out and out quality.
Title: Re: Another Build Plan.
Post by: H-Sauce on September 01, 2009, 01:04:44 AM: New case and screen.
