Can 750w handle it?

800, i've got PSU and case already
My PSU is hybric antec 750w bronze and case is Coolermaster Storm Trooper. I've got it already and can't change it.

That SSD is for system and some games (BF3, etc). I also want to record some videos for yotube everyday(HDD use).

From what i know playing games on SSDs give them FPS boost as they load textures and whole areas much faster.

I would prefere not to use MSI for GPU because from the expierience of many of my friends... They are faulty.

My budget is 800, and i can't go over 810... I just can't.

Why are you buying from an obvious competitor? :mad:
They are inferior.

Well... I've had problems with overclockers some time ago when buying parts... One of competitors is giving you insurance from destroying any parts when building pc for one month for 1 pound per part. I'm not that good at building stuff so it's quite good for me. B.t.w, is a ban comming for me? :D
 
I can't see why you would get banned. You haven't mentioned the name of the competitor.

But check if they have a 2TB WD WD20EARX Caviar Green Quiet SATA 6Gb/s IntelliPower for under £75 quid.
 
Aren't that HDDs from green serie slow to keep them quiet?


How about 1TB Western Digital WD1002FAEX? 75 pounds

Yeah plus high wattage PSU's doesnt really like low wattage systems, as they dont perform aswel using small amounts of power.

Not true, PSUs are at their most efficient at around 50% loading.

They have slower RPM speeds yes, but ultimately you should really only use a mechicial drive as storage these days and an SSD as a boot drive so it shouldn't matter.

Change that XMS3 stuff for Vengeance LP as you don't want 1.65v for Ivy/Sandy. I'd recommend the Thermalright SB-E Extreme.

Also pay the extra (imho) for a Intel Retail CPU, you get an extra 2 years warranty and they tend to resell better.

The spin speed is slower, not a massive problem unless you are constantly moving files about.
My 1TB is a 5400rpm drive. I dont notice any difference to be honest.

Go for the 1TB Western Digital WD1002FAEX if you think you will be happy with 1tb, but i would go for the 2tb one.

I'll change the ram as you say.


By the way... I can see that i'm not the only one here that is not completly loyal to the overclockers xD.

Guys... You made a mess in my head... Which cooler should i chose then?

Nocuta nh d14, Phanteks PH-TC14PE or Thermalright SB-E Extrem,

I'm aiming at 4,8ghz if this motherboard and CPU let me do so.
 
Most high end coolers perform pretty similarly really, it is more down to the way they look (if your case has a window), the price and the fans. I went with the SB-E due to the price and looks, then sold and changed the fans as I didn't like the colour.
 
Guys, you cant discuss a competitors pricing as it is easily searcheable and is bad for OcUK business.

Id recommend you discuss components and keep the exact prices out of it.




ON TOPIC:

750W is WAY overkill for that system mate

I'll not have window, as i don't mind looking inside but i like to keep it all in one color... red and black fits well.

Yeah thats what I was meaning, but most systems pull a max of 300-400watts, unless youu've got 2 or more gpu's in your rig. So a 700+watt psu would be a overkill, and the psu wouldn't be able run efficiently. Also when your just messing in windows your system will only be pulling about 150 - 200watts

How much roughly will my i5 [email protected], Radeon 7950 stock, 750HDD. How much watts?
I was thinking roughly 250-300w while playing games.

I think abouth 100w at the maxium. Since my cpu while browsing takes 8-15w and the gpu around 30-50w.

Well my system pulls roughly 150watts from the wall when messing in windows and 300watts when gaming (System in sig)

Do you have the mesurment device pluged before the powersupply to read how much power it takes? I look at the programs that tell me what wattage currently is beign used by specific component.
