I am tried to build a very quiet/relatively cheap/marginally powerful system for development/general use.
Here are my spec so far:
AMD Phenom x4 9650
Biostar TA780G M2+ (using inbuild HD3200 graphics)
8GB XMS Corsair 6400 RAM.
Arctic Cooler Pro 7 Rev.2
Xigmatek Asguard Case (cheap one)
Due to the RAM being too hot and giving errors in MemTest I had to mod the case and I have a 120mm fan blowing over the RAM. This is going to be a Noctua NF-S12B FLX which I will run at 7V so hopefully that will be quiet and sufficiently cool the RAM.
The CPU cooler is pretty quiet as it is and I am going to buy a SSD.
Will the fact the CPU has a small cache slow it down much? I'm using laptops that have relatively large caches.
NOW THE ACTUAL QUESTION: What PSU do I get to power this.....considering I would like it to be quiet but it will also be the only exhaust on the system to keep noise levels down. What "wattage" should I be looking at?
Thanks.
