up the psu

 

[herkguy]

Hehe all we talked bout with my last build was the PSU...what's wrong with 650watts? Ok upped to corsair 750w for the exact same price!! Go figure!

The psu you've chosen will very likely run the computer just fine, it's just that when you go to upgrade (add a second video card) you will also have to upgrade the psu. Might as well bite the bullet and get a solid psu with your new build and save some money in the longrun.

Ok so PSU updated, guys I'm excited, first build in a longggg time! Someone give me the go-ahead!!

 

[darkside_gamer7]

Antec 900 or 900 2 baby!!! Ya!!! Choice yummy's!!! 1200 is a good taste 2!!!!

 

[herkguy]

Nah I need the 300 to fit where my computer is going to go...

 

[darkside_gamer7]

or coolermaster HAF 932 is good...other then that go my friend and ...yes...may the force be w/ you

 

[darkside_gamer7]

okey dokey...good luck

Do you have any room left in the budget? All your parts are good but a roomier case would be nice.

Cooler Master 690 won't require extra fan purchases and will have better clearance between the video cards and hard drives:

Shouldn't enclose ur pc dude...bad for exhaust of nasty heat

 

[darkside_gamer7]

What proximon said is good 2

 

[herkguy]

Hmmm ok more to think about! Sounds like my components are good though. Will take a look at the cooler master...the 900 blows my budget tho.

 

[herkguy]

Allright, coolermaster 690 added to the case...any final thoughts? Can you tell I'm nervous about a big purchase??

 

[darkside_gamer7]

Go get'em Tiger

 

[herkguy]

Did it! I can finally stop researching parts!! Thanks for the info/advice guys.
