Been mulling over a new build for some time and have pretty much come to a preferred solution which is as follows:
i7-2600K (retail) which I am thinking of clocking upto about 4.4
Gigabyte Z68XP-UD3
8 gig Kingston HyperX Genesis Grey
Crucial M4 64GB SSD to use in ISRT with an existing 1TB Samsung F3
I was all set to order the CM Silencio 550 bundle which sounded excellent value for money that included a GX650 PSU and a Cooler Master Hyper TX3 cooler (which I figured would probably do for a smallish OC). I then read some of the reviews for the PSU and I am concerned that it will be problematic.
I am not a gamer and intend to use my existing Quadro FX initially to see how it goes but would like to have a PSU that would be capable of dealing with an upgrade at a later date.
Has anyone bought / built using the CM Silencio bundle and if so is it good?
As an alternative to the CM case I did think about the Zalman Z9 with a good PSU and cooler that hopefully someone can spec for me.
I basically would like to have something that would be quiet and reliable rather than all whistles and bells.
Any comments or suggestions re any of the above would be appreciated.
