Tha's the overall Watts stated on the PSU, that was discussed earlier, and originally by Rage_3K_Moiz, it was listed as 620W

The one we have been confirming individual power cables on (supposedly the same one, but different link by Rage_3K_Moiz again), is listed as 520W

So there is still some confusion there

Anyway either one will enable you to safely connect all your devices to it, power usage wise

lawl, thanks

and the link just show both the 520 and 650 PSU.

No, I've linked to the 620W model, the HX620W, whose specs are also listed in the Corsair link provided before. The Buy.com link also goes to the HX620W, not the HX520W.

As for modular cabling, it basically means that all the large cables that are made up of lots of smaller wires will be sleeved so that after attaching everything you can pull the sleeving over all the cables so the sleeving basically acts like a huge cable tie that eliminates any cable clutter and improves airflow. Also, modular PSUs feature detachable cables. This eliminates unnecessary connectors and helps improve airflow, as well as leading to minimal cable management. This is how the cabling of a typical modular PSU looks like:

hehe, btw, since i'm getting 8 gigs of ram. i would need a 64 bit OS and i'm going to get vista. i'm a heavy gamer and secondary i watch a lot of shows on my computer

so i'm wondering what's the real difference between the difference version?

Didn't really get you there...can you rephrase that?

For the record, a 19" monitor doesn't have a limit of 1280x1024 resolution. It's 1440x900 for me. =P

"So if its lasting in the long run, I'd recommend ATI. Why? You can buy a second card of the same type down the road and up your graphics power if you really really need to."

CrossFireX is actually really terrible and in almost all cases of high end cards, it actually either has the same, but more often than not, cripples the performance. Two 4870 in CrossFireX perform equal or worse than a single one on its own. Only SLI is capable of increasing GPU performance properly (NVIDIA).

Two ATi cards are a total waste of money, due to ATi's terrible drivers. This is why I always go NVIDIA for now.

Proof? Links? Crossfire motherboards are cheaper to get than SLI ones and nForce chipsets have compatibility issues with a lot of apps. Crossfire also gives better performance across the board as far as I've seen.

ok, i'm going to get 8 gigs of ram.

so it means i would need a vista 64 bit.

i'm also a heavy gamer.

and i was wondering which version of vista is suitable for me(and cheapest), like home edition, home premium, or ultimate?

For the record, a standard 19'' LCD monitor has native resolution of 1280 X 1024. The aspect ratio of the screen is 5:4.
Most widescreen 19" LCD monitors have a native resolution of 1440 X 900. The screen aspect ratio is 16:9.
There is a new Westinghouse 19" LCD widescreen (L1916HW) with a native resolution of 1680 X 1050. (And I suppose there are others).

Vista Home Premium x64 would be the best choice IMO.
