I need to make a decision.

[CuteTurtle]

I can buy 1 part right now, either

Gelid Tranquillo

or

XFX Pro 650W Core Edition '80 Plus Bronze' Power Supply

My current supply is OCZ500SXS (OCZ 500W StealthxStream)

If I bought the Tranquillo would the PSU be good enough to overclock my E5300?

Specs:

Windows: Microsoft Windows 7 Ultimate 32Bit
CPU: Pentium(R) Dual-Core CPU E5300 @ 2.60GHz
Motherboard: Gigabyte Technology EP45-DS3P
GFX Card: NVIDIA GeForce GTS 250 512mb
RAM: 4GB Kingston HyperX DDR2

Edit: God damn it, wrong board. Was suppose to post this in general hardware.


Buying in a few minutes, any help? =D

You dont need a new PSU for that setup...yet.

If you are using the stock Intel cooler, then adding a aftermarket heatsink with a larger cooling capacity will help you overclock whilst keeping the temperatures and noise levels down.

Okay, will go for the Tranquillo then

The Tranquillo is an awesome cooler. Get it and clock the crap out of that dual core. It's got a nice bit of overclocking headroom on it
