Spec needs PSU

Kyo Daikun · 21 Aug 2008 at 16:59

Right im building up a general system but im stuck on psu, spec is:

Geforce 280
P5Q Deluxe
Intel q9550
decent soundcard (if anyone would like to suggest a good one it would be appreciated!)
4 gig of ram for now
Samsung F1 1 TB
Random dvd drive which I havent decided on yet.
PSU - right I will be upgrading all this stuff next year for nehalem and I dont know if I need a modular or normal psu, if someone could suggest one with this in mind I will be forever grateful!

Corsair HX 620w

Thanks, I think I may go for the 750w so I wont have to worry about changing it for a long time.

from my experience you cant go wrong with the corsairs. Plus the 750w is on offer at the minute!

Just noticed! Worth the extra cash I reckon

With the offer price being so close it is a bit of a case of might as well. Your system would be happy with a decent 500W supply though unless you plan on going to SLI any time soon.

Oh and to my understanding Modular PSU's are just ones where you can disconnect the power cables you aren't using. They make for a cleaner inside of your case, but not much else
