Hello all,
I'm building a new PC and after selecting every single piece I'm having a difficult time to choose a PSU for it.
I want something that can give me the option to overclock my CPU and a decent unit that wont fail. I'm planning to use it for 2 years.
The system is:
Core 2 Duo 6400
Gigabyte DS3
8800GS
2 x Western Digital 7.200 rpm
2gb ram DDR2 800 Corsair
I was looking for a 600w PSU, but wasnt sure if it would handle it for 2 years, so I found an Apevia 680W PSU for a lower cost than the OCZ GameXstream 600w I was considering. The Apevia one had good reviews on NewEgg. But I'm not sure.
I'm from Brazil, sou when you say something like, "oh, its just $30 dollars more", here it will be " (2.2 x $30) + A LOT of taxes
But basically, should I stay with OCZ GameXStream 600w or should I take the "risk" and go with Apevia 680w ?
