I'm building my own PC, and all I know about PSU's is that it has a wattage, and I thought that is all that matters! Now I start hearing about voltage, rails and amps. What! How does any of this matter? Is it important? And why??
Right now I'm pretty confused about what rails are. And modular cable management. Im trying to read up on that but there are no sites that explain it well. Please try your hardest to explain it to me in layman's terms. (Don't link me to the PSU FAQ please. I read it. Made no sense.)
Basically, if I am planning on using a computer for gaming, with a GTX 280/295, a E8600 (3.33GHz) overclocked and 1 hdd, how much wattage do you think I'll need? I think I'll need at least 600W. What other information do I need to know about a PSU that is important?
