620W or 750W with this spec please? :S

Hey everyone, i'm still making sure i pick the right parts, here is the spec atm

http://img209.imageshack.us/my.php?image=specul4.jpg

ontop of that i'm adding a 150GB raptor drive and changing the montior from 24 inch to the 22 pebble and changing the CPU cooler to something else, not sure yet.

But i was wondering, there is a 750W version of that PSU...would it be better if i buy that? what would be the advantages or disadvantages and whats the best option, as i don't mind paying a little more if it's worth it ? :S

Thanks

620watt is fine

You can run sli on 520w corsair i beleive. You never really need over 620w it seems.

Yep - 620 is more than enough.

I'm running the same PSU with a similar spec (see sig) and haven't had any problems at all.

Okay thanks a lot

its just that i've seen many pre built PCs with like 800+/1000/1010W PSU's in them ,and saw quite a few under PSU's here, so wasn't sure which i'd need for my spec.

They're only there because chumps like big numbers

yeah, easy on 620.

Xion · 2 Jan 2008 at 16:49

Ok great sticking with that then

i dont think even tri sli would use 800w. Perhaps quad but if sli gtx can run on 520w then you can probably do it with under 800w.

Ive seen a 1500W PSU too . . . .

Could comfortably run 3 pcs off that.
