Last weekend my surge protector & psu (600w enermax noisetaker II) died for whatever reason. Currently using an old PC, therefore I'm in the market for a new psu (minimum: see below).
To make things complicated I was saving up & planning on updating the pc later this year anyway. However I haven't quite got all the funds together at the moment, though that may change.
I've tested the ssd, hdd & dvd drives from the old computer and these still work. Haven't got access to a spare psu for the remaining parts.
Existing comp. is amd 7750, 2gb of ocz ram, gigabyte board & palit 1gb 4870
As for the upgraded computer, I haven't got anything specific in mind be it amd/intel. It's useage would be for gaming, dvds and some cad work & office jobs. Price wise was hoping to spend around £300-£400 and re-use my 1Gb 4870 graphics in the short term until I can afford a better upgrade (now obviously only if it still works)....
therefore I'd need:
Case, CPU, ram, mobo & cooler
Already have Windows 7, keyboard, mouse etc... to use.
Regarding power supply not sure what people suggestions are, would prefer something modular/semi-mod with potential for sli or x-fire in the future.
Suggestions required, cheers
