Hi all,
I'm looking at building 2 computers (similar specs) for myself and a friend. What I'm a little worried over is getting the right PSU for the job and making sure the case will fit everything in it (hence this forum) - specifically the size of the nVidia 8800's.
Here's the general spec - some things are in flux and the build won't happen just yet (probably towards the end of May). Any comments would be helpful but really need advice on the case/psu.
E6600
EVGA 680i
2GB (2x1GB) 800Mhz OCZ CL4
2x 8800 GTS 320MB
2x Samsung spinpoint 250GB in Raid 0
LG DVDRW
LG DVD
About 8 USB (max) devices need to be plugged in and 1 firewire occasionally for a video camera (Canon XH-A1).
Cases:
I quite like the look of the Antec P180 and my friend likes the Antec 900. Are these up to the job with internal size regarding the graphics cards, etc? Is there anything better on the market?
I'm not personally big on neons and case windows, hence the P180 choice. I don't think this worries my friend.
PSU:
My choice is a Hiper 670W SLI PSU Type M - Is this up to the job?
My friend has chosen the X-Power 700W (which ships with the case from X-Case)
Not planning on overclocking and just looking at the stock cooling.
Like I said guys any help would be fantastic.
