pay the extra for the corsair 650W PSU

and i think there isnt much point buyin DDR3 dual channel faster than 1333mhz

The Asus 4890 has a voltage tweak which will enable a beastly overclock.

The BeQuiet! is an excellent PSU and is modular unlike the one you have chosen.

S.A.S · 26 May 2009 at 19:06

i like iceys spec looks good enough to me

wupwup · 26 May 2009 at 19:07

As long as you dont want to add crossfire later (although you could get adaptors).

To post pics use something like photobucket or similar then copy/paste the link.

Nah, don't go for that one, your original corsair was better.

I was offering the BeQuiet because it's very good and modular. Your original is very good anyway.

To add pics, go to an image hosting site, eg. Imageshack, Photobucket, TinyPic etc, upload your image then copy and paste it here (by clicking on the picture of mountain with sun).

wupwup · 26 May 2009 at 20:22

The OCZ is a fine PSU, but the Be Quiet is a higher quality PSU which is know to be very good and super quiet. If you can afford the extra for the Be Quiet - i'd get it.

Both very good PSUs.

One is modular and the other isn't, but the non-modular gives you 100W extra for the same price.

In which case, I would maybe go for the Corsair, but the thing is, I would want a modular PSU. So I'm confused now. :confused:

wupwup · 26 May 2009 at 22:38

thanks. im not that bothered about moduality. its a big case so i can just tie them back. cheers

PC Power & Cooling Silencer 750 Quad-Crossfire 750W Power Supply & Free OCZ 2GB Rally2 Flash Drive £89.99

In the same component quality as the Corsair and beQuiet, if not better.

Would allow for any reasonable upgrade, including crossfire and lots of additional HHD pci/e cards.

Oh yeh, didn't realise that's the same price. Definitely go for this one.
