Are you going to start a new thread for every single component?

408W on the 12V rail.

Take the 331W you were told in your other thread, add in overclocking, and you haven't got a lot of headroom.

It will work but you'll probably pushing the PSU fairly hard.

Really?

If it's this thread I see recommendations for 500W+ PSU's.

Hi there,

If you mean this thread then we recommended the 550W XFX (and a few other good quality 500W+ units).

However, based on current prices (until they change the weekly deal tommorrow) I would go for this Antec 620W PSU for £57, excellent PSU for a really nice price (£2 more than the 550W XFX) and it will give you plenty of headroom.

yes thats right ..DOH! (slaps myself on forehead)

aye im trying to keep the build under £560 (because we have to spend £36 elsewhere on tower - total budget is £600) including a Vertex 2E SSD
my dads decided that he gunna order parts whilst here on thursday afternoon...

thing is OCuk doesnt have the SSD in stock which is a killer... we already buying case elsewhere at £8 p&p it would be a shame to have to pay 3 lots of P&P

so we gunna have to sit down and re-think..
originally was gunna get the £102 Gigabyte P67 board with UD3 and Dual-Bios etc and a standard 1Tb drive.. but then I changed to the cheap ASUS P67 board and cheaper GTX 460 HAWK which allowed us to afford SSD but I got mixed up and priced in XFX 450 watt instead of 550 watt

the case he wants is on another website for £27 (£36 inc P&P) - Asus TA-9L1 Black Midi Tower Case

got 2 days to re-think it all before he is here and we sit and order the parts, he is only down for 6-7 days from Thursday-to-Thursday

you would probably be better off making a thread about the whole build, then we could recommend where to save and spend money

also, you might want to remove the competitor name. i got a warning today just for hinting at competitors, never mind naming them. also, that competitor isnt even the cheapest seller of the case

snadge I would remove the competitor name fella

I've already suggested this in one of his many other threads.

450W is more than enough for a single GTX 460 rig.

His rig would only consume close about 300-350w at full load.... full load meaning Prime95 + Furmark simultaneously, or a CPU+GPU distributed computing project. Under typical gaming load conditions that figure would be less than 300w DC. He has plenty of room.
