I'm planninng on gettting e6400 with a Gigabyte DS3.
2x1GB OCZ or G.Skill
Unsure of GPU but a dual dvi one in the $150-200 range.
I don't really play that much games, but I might play a little in the future. So this machine is mainly for multimedia, multitasking, i.e. everything else.
So I'm narrorwed it down to these three PSUs. Since all three power supplies I'm looking at are about the same price, my first question is would the 430w SeaSonic be enough power for current use and also be enough for future upgrades. Or should I should I be safe and choose a 500w one. Second, between the silverstone and Forton is there any real tradeoffs or would picking either be a toss up? In terms off what I'm looking for, I guess would be average across the board. Not too noisy but stable and supplies ample power.
Thanks for your help.
