Hi im putting together a new build in a Sugo SG03, basically i have most of the hardware already and im really looking for opinions on which is the best PSU and SATA Hdd for my build.

Its primary function is gaming but i do use photoshop a fair amount also, maybe in the future 3dsmax too.

This is my hardware so far;

E6750 2.66GHz (1333FSB) - NT06 Lite
OCZ 2GB (2 x 1GB) PC2-6400C4 XTC
HIS 2900XT 512mb
GA-G33M-DS2R
x2 YS-TECH FD1238 120mm Fans (not really bothered about the noise the generate aslong as its running cool)


I was looking at these as possibilities:

Corsair HX 520W
Hitachi Deskstar T7K500 NCQ 320GB SATA-II 16MB Cache - OEM

Im new to the forum so please be gentle any help given is greatly appreciated :D

Thanks for the reply Tute, using the NT06 lite, will the 520w Corsair cope with being the passive cpu cooler?

Im thinking of going with the Seagate Barracuda 7200.10 250GB, i dont really use a lot of space, at the moment in using 2x 80gb ide drives so its still an improvement storage wise, thanks for your help! :)
 
Im hoping the 2 fans are enough airflow to keep the 2900xt under control my current pc heats my room up - cheap central heating, does anyone know how thick the delta 120mm fans are in relation to the YS-TECH ones?

The only saving grace i see is that the 2900xt pci-e power connections are mounted vertically

Should do, just don't expect 4GHz or anything! :) :p

Truth be told i have never overclocked anything in my life lol, when i was younger i played with voltages in a 486 never worked after bwhaha, my dad went crazy :D

Thanks again guys!
 
Well guys, the sugo is built no problems at all really, woo! :)

Even with a modular psu it was a bit of a squeeze but its all in, the two YS-TECH FD1238 120mm Fans are incredibly loud, its like having a vacuum cleaner on my desk, but cant argue with the temperatures, cpu idle at 24-27 degrees, gpu idle at 46! (2900XT)

Only real snag was one of my YS-Tech Fans exploading... dont even know why there are no marks to suggest it got caught on anything 3 blades have all snapped in the same place, wondering what to do, do i send it back to ocuk or order a new one?

Ill post some pictures soon, thanks for the help / advice given :D
