I would not recommended the OP or even my worst enemy try that GFX card on that PSU.

Kaboom.

While I agree in theory, I don't think it would be a problem in this particular spec - as there's no way that Lightning would fit in that mATX case. Furthermore, I doubt that cheap PSU has the 8 + 8 pin PCI connectors to power it.

Otherwise, it's a dreadful build.

Thought I would beat the previous spec.

• Cheaper
• Better case
• MSI GFX card has 3year warranty and a great cooler on it.

The OCZ Agility3 SSD is awful.

No it isn't.

I use both 60gb and 120gb Agility 3's and they've both done a damn fine job with not a single issue.

Can you buy better performers? Of course you can.

I'm sure you'll dig out some bar graph that tells me just how wrong I am...
