Hi. A thew months back i did a post where i said shal i buy?. Well a thew month later i still have not pressed the buy button. I am thinking of gett ing a new case and PSU for my PC what i have now.

My PC at the moment is.

Asrok P43DE

Q6600 Quad at 2.40GHZ

4gb Ram DDR2

XFX 5770 graphic card

1000Wat PSU

What im wanting is a new case and PSU as this PSU sounds realy noisy so whats the best PSU for less noise but powerfull enougth to keep going?.

Also im thinking of getting this case

Also i do have 2 Harddrives at the moment but only 1 fitted into the PC. The spare Harddrive is 500GB Seagate and sata2. I have plenty of power cable ports in my PC but not data transfer cables so what kind of other cable do i need.

On this PC at the moment i can have everything on full graphics apart from Anti Aliasing which i keep at use app settings in the CCC and the PC runs fine apart from the noise. Thanks in advance.
 
Case is very much personal choice, though Id be tempted to get Corsair 650D for marginally more, but I prefer the simple sleek stlyish look
As for PSU, Corsair are agian very good, you dont need anywhere near 1000W though, even allowing for xfire 650-750 is plenty, other than Corsair, look at Antec, OCZ Z series, XFX, any decent brand really
 
1000 watt PSU for that rig??? Wow... that is loosing you money on your electric bill as not every watt is being used and heat and electric is being wasted massively!

For a new PSU I would recommend the Corsair Builder Series CX600W as it is a "80 plus" supply unit meaning it will save you money in the long run and it's a Corsair!

The case your looking at buying is a nice case too. Improvements over the original Antec 900 are better cable management, slightly better cooling and USB 3.0, but I would not pay £115 for it.

For that sort of money you can get the King of air flow cases, the http://bit.ly/rOLDQq which is bigger, better airflow, better cooling, better quality and better looking!
 
a PSU will only draw the power it needs, so even though his PSU is 1000W his system prob draws circa 200W, however it will be running at horrible efficiency levels and I suspect its prob not best PSU in first place anyway

Click to expand...

200 watts LOL

I run that same GPU and it tops out at 150 watts under load itself...

When under load he will be running at around 300-400 watts more like!
