Power Supply Thoughts

Hi folks,

I was looking to get an Antec P180 for my new build in a few weeks time (nvidia 680i and a 8800GTS) and was wondering if anyone knew what PSU would be suitable for the case?

I was thinking of the Corsair 520W but I was wondering if the cables will actually reach the motherboard and will I be able to hide them away so the case is neat and has a good Airflow with no cables in the way as obstructions.

Your thoughts and comments would be greatly appreciated.

FSP Epsilon worked fine with mine. 520w maybe enough for your rig depending on what else there is with it and whether you are overclocking but tbh I would tend to spend that little extra so I don't need to buy yet another psu again come upgrade time.

Not all about wattage

the hx520 will be more than enough even with 2 GTS cards

PS the HX520 cables are pretty long so should have no trouble BUT you can phone/email corsair and they will send you longer cables if needed

Cheers for that. I did not know you could call them and get sent longer cables.

Thanks
