Firstly, been reading here for a while and never posted. everything here, (well mostly
) is very helpful.
Secondly - sorry if there is a specific PSU thread, couldn't find one.
Advice sought: building a computer in Q1/Q2 of this year and have most of the research and knowledge that I want from reading all your posts and reading up on the sites that are posted here.
My main point of wavering on is the power of the PSU. Trying to build a PC that is a couple of years future proof. (Present one has done 3-4 years and was cobbled together from mates left overs as they upgraded)
What wattage of PSU do I need? Will be running Sandybridge with a mild overclock (4.1Ghz-4.5Ghz) and H70 corsair cooler. 8 GB Ram on 2 sticks. (Running Photoshop), 570/580 Nvidea card with the future option of SLi'ing a 2nd. 1 SSD HD and one normal HD.
Was thinking of the 1000W ATX from Corsair, but might be overkill although it would last the length of time.
Requirements: long life, good power, able to take future kit and last 3-5 years if poss, and modular. thoughts?
Thanks and nice forums here.
