Half builds spec help

fruman23 · 15 Dec 2012 at 19:31

Had a custom build,but it will no longer turn on, don't have the time or means for testing

No sign of power to my board,so not sure if its that or psu.

Already have, and going to assume still works
Graphics card
Ram
Cooler and CPU
Hdd although another wont hurt
Blu ray drive

So potentially looking at a mobo and psu bundle,gonna order the next phantom to put it in, something quite overclocking friendly would be good as not over confident with it

Been out of the PC game for a bit,will that mobo offer similar performance, and will that psu been fine for possible upgrades and crossfire?

Have you tried another PSU at all?
Does your Mobo have a power light on it?

It's in my sig mate

Not got another psu to try, it does have a power light and it lit up until yesterday

What is your budget for this bundle?
For xfire you would need at least 750w and the mobo should get you 4.7Ghz on the 2500k.

fruman23 · 15 Dec 2012 at 19:46

Anything up to 400, though less would be nice

4.5ghz would be more than enough I think

Good mobo for sli/xfire and a very good Psu, non-modular, but has Seasonic internals.

My only worry with non modular is cable mess, though I suspect kit won't be an issue with the phantom

I have the 750w version in an Antec 280 and have no problem hiding the few cables I don`t use.
