It has been awhile since I have built a new system, so I decided to come here to get some help.
All this talk about these new big video cards and big PSU's is scaring me when it comes to picking out parts. Mainly the PSU and case.
Here are the specs I am looking at:
-Core 2 Duo (Undecided on which)
-8800 GTX EVGA
-EVGA 680i board
-2 gigs of Corsair XMS PC6400
-2x Raptor X 150GB (Raid 0)
-1x 320GB 7200RPM WD
I am looking to later add another 8800GTX.
Now for my questions...
1) Would a ThermalTake ToughPower 750w be sufficient for this setup, including the added 8800GTX in the future? Or should I invest in a bigger one.
2) Any suggestions for good cases? I am looking for something not to large (Scratched the Stacker off my list). Something that can handle the space, and have some good cooling. I am currently using a LianLi PC-65b. Would that happen to be sufficient?
Thanks!
