been thinking of buying a 1000 watt psu, but want a quite one.
what is the most silent 1000 watt psu and how many dB's is it? love some suggestions please.

Do you actual need a 1000w PSU? - A dual card setup, can power off 850w comfortably, with overclocks. What is your budget & system you are going to be powering?

yeah like reaper said you don't really need 1000w unless your doing 3 g-cards

This is plenty, and is a fantastic Psu. Thats if you want a decent one. http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=CA-097-CS

So do BT but people still use them

Seasonic or XFX

The Corsair Hx850 is superb and he asked for silence.

the xfx is also made by seasonic and is cheaper but the seasonic PSU's do look awesome
