BJD3 Posted July 8, 2009 Report Share Posted July 8, 2009 (edited) id say the 850 watt should be fine. if you have the money for a 1000 watter id go with that though. I concur. Especially if you are even considering upgrading this rig in the future. I don't remember where on the internet I read it, but One guy said very few computers need 1000 watt PSUs. But he hasn't built one without one. The numbers manufaturers say the GPUs (as well as other components) pull are max numbers (From what I've read, not sure if this is 100% true though). They rarely ever pull that kind of power, especially if what you are doing most of the time is just regular computer duty, and not a/v editing or gaming. Another thing I read is do not skimp on a PSU. Quality of power is everything. Corsair is a good brand from everything I've seen. EDIT:Can I have the model number of the monitor?

Joker Posted July 12, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 12, 2009 Painted my NZXT Tempest case , replacing all (4 total) of the 120mm case fans with green led Cooler Master R4-L2R-20CG-GP (2,000rpm - 90cfm - 19db). And I will have 2 more to go on the cpu cooler. Pretty sure one will fit on the cpu cooler but I ordered extra fan clips to see if it will work for a push/pull configuration. Enuff with the talk , heres how it looks so far.. And one of the graphics cards come in.. More to come as parts arrive.

Joker Posted July 15, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 15, 2009 Powersupply showed up so I started putting it together. Getting a feel for where and how I am going to run my wiring. Clearance around the EVGA X58 motherboard. Still have a fan coming to go on this cooler.
