Ok so im building a new gaming pc and ive chosen all the parts except the PSU, Im not sure what wattage I need exactly, I have all the parts chosen on pcpartpicker and the estimated wattage is 316w, now im pretty sure i read on one of the many threads ive read that PSU's run most efficiently at 50% load so I doubled the wattage and chose accordingly.
Ive narrowed it down to these two:
Thermaltake TR2 TR-700 700W
Rosewill Green Series RG630-S12 630W
Now the Thermaltake will end up being $45 after MIB and the Rosewill $41 after MIB
Are these PSU's any good? Will they fry my components? Is this the right wattage to be looking for?
Approximate Purchase Date: e.g.: I will be purchasing everything within the next 2 days except the CPU, mobo and Operating system.
Budget Range: a semi flexible $750 (for the PSU about $50 maybe a little higher like 60-65 but that would take away from the mobo budget...)
System Usage from Most to Least Important: Gaming, browsing, music, movies etc
Are you buying a monitor: Eventually
Do you need to buy OS: Yes
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: No preference, a good deal is a good deal.
Location: City, State/Region, Country - Duryea, PA, United States
Parts Preferences: none
Overclocking: Maybe
SLI or Crossfire: Maybe but not anythime soon
Your Monitor Resolution: ill be using a 720p tv as my monitor for the time being
My build: i5 3570K, Zotac GTX 660 2gb, ASRock Z77 Pro3 mobo
