Hello,
So I am planning on building a gaming pc, and I was originally planning on going with the Silverstone Strider 850w as my power supply.
As I was searching around, I came across the Cougar 850w, which is cheaper and would allow me to buy an SSD to add to my build, but I am unsure if it will work, cable-wise.
I searched for a compatibility sheet on the Cougar, to see if it would be compatible with dual R9 290's, but I could not find anything.
I am planning on adding a few more fans to the case and a couple of extra hard drives in the future, so I would like to know if the Cougar will have enough connectors to fit all of that.
Basically, will the Cougar suit my needs? Will I be able to add a few more hard drives and fans to the case without any problems, or should I just go with the Strider?
Thanks,
Youssef
My build:
Motherboard: ASRock Extreme 3
CPU: i5 4670k
RAM: 8GB Geil Dragon
Storage: 1TB Seagate Barracuda
Possibly a 60gb SSD as well
GPU: R9 290 Windforce (crossfire in the future)
PSU:
Optical Drive: Samsung (numbers here)
