Away to order - need a PSU quick!

Tartan_Piper · 17 Jan 2013 at 15:56

Ok so the PSU i was going to order is now out of stock - BeQuiet Pure Power L8 430W '80 Plus Bronze' Modular Power Supply

Looking for a cheap, reliable, modular PSU to finish off my build but most seem to be out of stock.

Any suggestions?

Thanks for the help.

The 830 SSD is better than the standard 840 (bigger and writes faster). I'm not sure if that heatsink will block the PCI-Express lane for the GPU, it's a common problem on these small mobos. Might be best to wait and save for a decent CLC cooler instead so you don't have that problem, or buy one now if you have the cash

Tartan_Piper · 17 Jan 2013 at 16:27

Thanks for the quick replies guys. I can afford a little bit more to get a CLC cooler, which one would you recommend for my case?

I prefer the antec myself. These CLCs have twin fans on a thicker rad which is why they are more than the cheaper CLCs

Only issue is the keyboard is on pre-order so the parts wont be dispatched till it's in stock

lee32uk · 17 Jan 2013 at 17:03

I'm assuming you have a spare hard drive too ? As there isn't one in your spec

Tartan_Piper · 17 Jan 2013 at 17:04

yeah i've got an old keyboard that will do for now.

I meant a mechanical hard drive. That SSD can fill up pretty quick.

Ah ok sry. I'll be keeping my music, pics and vids on my laptop so the SSD will be big enough for the OS, games and some other programs. If i need more room in the future i'll purchase another drive.

lee32uk · 17 Jan 2013 at 17:54

Ah right ok. You got a nice build there, have fun

Akagi · 17 Jan 2013 at 18:26

Consider me jelly

Wanted an M-ITX build for a while now, haven't got the guts to switch.

Tartan_Piper · 19 Jan 2013 at 18:49

Ok so my order arrived today and to my surprise the PSU that i ordered came with what i assume to be a european/US power cable. How can this not be stated clearly on the site? Surely a UK website should only be selling PSU's that come with UK power cables.
Can i just use a UK PSU cable that i already have?
