Ok, planning on buying some system upgrades, I have something like this in mind at the moment:
I'm keeping my current GPU and case, the GPU is a Point of View GeForce GTX 260 (216 core) Exo edition.
But basically, would that BeQuiet PSU be powerful enough for the system, and would it still be ok if I were to OC the CPU to about 3.8GHz? And also, would I need an aftermarket cooler to get the CPU OC'ed to 3.8 or am I ok with the stock cooler?
If the PSU isn't good enough, could you recommend me something else? Reason I am asking is I want to order the memory, PSU and HD now as they are in the deal of the week and the VAT goes up tomorrow. I will be ordering the rest next week at some point.
