Hi all,
This question is in regards of what wattage PSU I should use for this build. I don't do lan gaming but I do like games. I want to play Crysis.
Case: Lian Li V2000B, ThermalTake Armor, CM Stacker T-01
Processor: E6700 Conroe
Mobo: Don't know yet
Video Card: Nvidia 8800GTX or new release
HD's: 3 or 4 500gig Seagates Sata2
Sound Card: Creative Sound Blaster Audigy 2ZS Platinum Pro or newer
HSF: Thermalright X1-14 when released
Floppy
Card Reader
Two DVD- Burners
I will go to water cooling from Swiftech probably a year or so down the road.
My current system has a PC Power & Cooling Turbo- Cooled 510 ATX-PFC Deluxe and it has done me right. My PC was on one night and I was sleeping, a storm hit and I awoke to a burning smell that morning. My PSU was fried but it didn't take any of the components with it. That smell stayed in the house for three weeks.
I was personally thinking of a 850 watt PSU but if I'm off base here let me know. I looked around at PC Power & Cooling site and didn't see that size.
Open for advice, thanks.
