I'm building a new system and everything's chosen except for the PSU. Here's the specs:
80098-21 Corsair VS1GBKIT400 1GB Kit DDR400 PC3200 CAS2.5 Value Select Memory Retail $149.00
80701-R AMD Athlon 64 3200+ Processor Socket 754 Retail $210.00
241132 MSI K8N Neo Platinum nForce3 250Gb Athlon 64 Skt754 DDR ATX Motherboard w/Audio, LAN, RAID/SATA Retail $122.00
100592-1 IBM Hitachi Deskstar 7K250 160GB Serial ATA 7200RPM Hard Drive w/8MB Buffer $99.50 x2 (RAID 0 configuration)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Subtotal $680.00
The video card (temporarily) will be an old Asus GeForce2 GTS 32mb 4x AGP card. I will upgrade soon, but probably not to a top-of-the-line card unless they become rediculously cheap. (I don't do heavy gaming)
I'm considering this PSU:
270527 Sparkle Power FSP350-60PN 350 Watts ATX12V Switching Power Supply w/SATA Connector Retail $49.00
Any info appreciated.
P.S. I was looking at PSU's at Fry's today and noticed that a lot of even the "higher end" PSU's only had 4 4-pin drive power connectors. Knowing straight off that I'll have 2 optical drives and 2 hard drives it seems like I'd already be maxing it out. Can you couple more drives on even though there aren't enough connectors?
