Psu Question

trisp · 5 Dec 2013 at 11:54

Right i was gonna buy the Silverstone Strider Series 1500 Watt too go along with 4 290's but sadly that has gone out of stock so i am for looking for alternatives.

There is the Silverstone SST-ZM1350 Zeus which can do 1300w and peak upto 1500w which should cover me but is abit more expensive and very loud! and then there is the Seasonic X-Series 1250w which is good psu but may be abit under the wattage i need.

Going with this will be a 4gb ram (2x2), Intel Pentium Dual Core G3220 and a Gigabyte Z87X-OC there power requirements should be pretty damn low!

Anyone got any ideas's?

Why are you having such a large PSU with those components?

Possibly the 4 290's?

And the Gigabyte Z87X-OC is because of the power. (but maybe abit crazy)

I was going to say Bitcoin or Litecoin.

Bitcoin mining with gpus just dosent work anymore sadly so yer will be mining litecoin's/other crypto's depending on trade between them and bitcoins!

(as bitcoins are easier to get into your bank
