keyword "probably" i am yet to decide but one things for sure im never buying a generic one again

Don't lose perspective on things though. There's no point in a 100 PSU for a 300 PC

You can get a very good PSU for 50 quid these days. (Says the guy with the Seasonic X)

by 300pc do you mean £300? or 300 watt cuz it defo didn't cost me a total of £300 lol more like a £400 pc with added £300 peripherals lol

seemes like i spent a lot more on it than i actualy did lol

The Halk · 26 Dec 2010 at 23:19

I mean a £300 PC

I'm just saying don't go over the top on the PSU. I'm not suggesting your PC is worth £300 either, I just pulled a number out of the air.

£300 makes me sound like a cheapscate cheapscape whatever you call it lol

Buy:
COD Black op's
12 can of stella artois
and look for your bedroom door and just have your self a good time

your set-up looks fine why not get new gaming pad, keyboard or sound system to go with it.

looks like i will be putting the extra in the bank then as i already have a wireless xbox controller with receiver.

what about the little side keyboard/gaming pad things like beklin nomstro and the razer nomstro (are they the exact same?)

My first choice would be a decent psu, I can't believe anyone didn't mention until the end of pg1. Yes it is a pile of cheap nasty crap. Get a decent psu along with a nice case, maybe overclock the cpu..

this is what i have settled on now, not to sure about the overclock tho(don't like to overclock things apart from gpu)

and what are the differences between the razer nomstro and the beklin thing, is it just the name?

arc@css · 27 Dec 2010 at 14:14

^If you have a standard stock cooler on the cpu then do keep an eye on the temps. I would imagine your cpu should hit at least 3.4 - 3.6 with almost no effort.

powelly · 27 Dec 2010 at 18:13

hmm i might try, at the moment i have a coolit eco on it and i get max load temps of 36C which is realy good i think....

Good PSU and new case - providing you don't do anything stupid then these can last all your future rebuilds/upgrades.

I've had three cases (Coolermaster Wavemaster, Antec 900 and finally Xigmatek Utgard) and fell in love with my last (Xigmatek) as it was well finished and looks awesome and consequently all future rebuilds/upgrades will be in this until it breaks somehow!

Modular has nothing to do with braided cables.... It's about efficiency and and the way electrical sin wave is used by the psu....basically it provides safer stronger move efficient waves which cost you less in your bill.....

the stuff you write when your drunk ehh?

ohhhh my poor head
