Hey guys, ok I put together a machine quick a couple months back after my old Athlon XP box fried. But I've been running it underpowered and I need to pick up something this week so I can overclock this next weekend. My specs are:
Pentium D 915 w/ Zalman 9500
Gigabyte DS3 Rev. 2 w/ Switch MCX159-CU
4gb OCZ Platinum pc6400
ATI X1800XT 512mb w/ Zalman 900cu (still stock, need more power)
Rosewill Silicon Image Raid Controller
2x WD 250gb Sata II
2x DVD Burners
Floppy Drive
Bluegears B-Enspirer
Antec P180 w/ 4x 120mm fans
all running off a Thermal Take TR2430 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817153023
I've got a couple of options, I was wondering whether to go with a:
Corsair HX620 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139002
SILVERSTONE ZEUS SST-ST65ZF
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817163108
OCZ GameXStream OCZ700GXSSLI (or the 600 watt model)
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817341002
Or I was thinking of keeping the TR2430, and getting one of these:
Thermaltake W0099RU
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817153037
which a local store is selling one for $40, which would make it a lot cheaper solution but maybe not as good?
I'm not that knowledgeable about power supplies, so please let me know! I want to overclock the processor and graphics card, and then with the Intel price drop in July drop in a q6600 or e6850 or whatever is a great deal.
Thanks a ton!
