First Build Question. (Need help with PSU)
You may remember the other thread I posted a couple weeks ago. But it's gone, and I don't think bumping an old thread would be good. So anyways, here's the PC I'm going to build.
Cooler Master Stacker 830 Case EVGA Nvidia nForce 680i SE SLi Motherboard Intel Core 2 Duo E6600 2.40 GHz Processor Corsair XMS2 2GB DDR2 Memory (RAM) EVGA Nvidia 8800GTS 320MB Video Card Superclocked Seagate 7200RPM 250GB Hard Drive Basic DVD Burner/Drive Inter Media Card Reader What's gonna run this? Windows Vista Ultimate of course Samsung 21.6" LCD Monitor This is the PSU I'm going to be using. Corsair 520Watt Power Supply Is that PSU just fine? Or do I need to get a stronger PSU? I was thinking about getting a Enermax 1000W(Since I will eventually get a bigger monitor and run SLi) but it's too big and it doesn't fit in the case I REALLY want. So as for the PSU, any recommendations? Or is that PSU just fine? |

I concur on the motherboard recommendation, and I'd encourage you not to go SLI. You're better served by upgrading to one newer card more frequently, and with the amount of memory available on a single card (640MB and up) handling large monitors shouldn't be a problem.
The ASUS P5B or P5K will give you no headaches.
