what computer i get all depends on how much i get in the course of the remainder of this year. It doesn't help that my budget is sorta on the rocks at this point. way to render them graphs and charts in 3d billy! know what i mean? i want something that has the kick of the best at not such a high price, and the gt fit the bill. the other reason is i am sick and tired of working with my radeon 9250 pci card which is rated for office computers.

Plus, with the rate at which graphics are improving in every game developed these days, the 8600 is going to be left in the dust pretty damn soon. Well.put simply Sam, i have my heart set on it.

Plus I wouldn't take PSU advice from someone that has about twice the PSU he needs. Extremely efficient (will pay itself off in a few years on the electric bill) and very quiet. You also have to look at total 12v WATTAGE in addition to just amps, since some manufacturers (read: most) have a wattage limit that is set below the combined amperage rating. Therefore, when investigating 12v powering capacity, you ought to be looking at total amperage, not the psuedo-Intel-Spec-Compliant figures that most manufacturers give. The fact is that in the absence of manufacturer specific guidelines for what components go on what plugs, the PSU does not have independent 12v lines. If PSU manufacturers actually had multiple truly independent 12v lines, there would actually be some advantages. You've been fooled by marketing or poor reviews. There is no real difference between multi-rail and single-rail PSUs. Why? 12v rail separation is a distinction made arbitrarily by manufacturers. if that 8800gt doesn't go down in price, i'll have to come up with a sum total of about 750 bucks to buy the whole system. To deliver to me, plus tax, it's price goes up to $100.05. In the meantime though, it looks like i'm going with the tigerdirect psu that sghiznaneck showed me despite its cost. get some cash, and get a better non-explody power supply hahahah. maybe its time to move into the tier 3 range. Sam, you'll never hear the end of it with that rosewill in your system lols. (that's when i can get some more cash to expand on the system/my budget). If i want those parts, that 8800gt has to lower in price, and i have to find a psu of appropriate power and value to fit the budget otherwise i can have a very expensive computer that doesn't work until august. i'm only afraid of two things:ġ)not having enough cash for that computer now that i need another possibly more expensive PSUĢ) the price of the 8800gt not going lower than its current value. the parts i mentioned, plus a case will cost me roughly 715 bucks. i was just not aiming high enough.Ĭonsidering, i did a pretty good job. so unfortunately that's.a little upsetting and means i have to reject that one. and the thread was about the 8800gt which i'm looking to get. but i was given a scare because rage3kmoiz told me that it wasn't going to give an awful lot of power considering. maybe borderline but it was still tier 3. Well, according to the listings in the tier 3, the purepower thermaltake i was looking at was of decent quality.well. If anyone has a suggestion of another good quality gaming mobo for about 60 bucks, please suggest it. I'm not sure whether or not I should buy that particular model or not. Also, I would appreciate any other opinions on the hardware I'm choosing. PLEASE help me because I want to make sure that this system will work when I put it together. >70% efficiency at load at the very least. But I noticed on another thread that the amperage it provides may be lower than I need, so I need a second opinion, and if this one is inadequate, a similar PSU that provides the power I need for about the same price and maintains quality, a.k.a. I was looking at a 500watt thermaltake purepower power supply priced at around 54 dollars on newegg. I'm looking into a good PSU that will help me power a system with the following specs:ġ60 gigabyte western digital hard drive 7200 rpm
