Hey, since I got this computer in 04, I've had a lot of overheating issues, where my computer tries to run any game that requires graphics, and now, it'll be able to handle it for 10 seconds before my computer reboots...so I'm gutting it for the most part, and I just need some advice on my PSU if need be, right now my family friend supplied me with a 680W literally no name brand PSU, I can talk to him on monday after I place my parts order after prices for intel's drop. Obviously I'll talk to him about this as well, since he knows his craft as well if not better than some of you here, but just so I can go and search for some PSUs tonight ...Here is what my comp will consist of.
Processor - Intel E6600
Mobo- Gigabyte GA-P35-DS3R
Ram - 2gb Kingston (always loved kingston, and is recommended for this mobo)
GFX card - 7900GS (I'm currently on a tight budget )
Now, with the overheating problems I've had with this computer, I most likely just for safety because Im thinking of moderately overclocking to 3.0 ghz, so I'm going to either get an Arctic http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835186134
or the BFT90 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835887002&Tpk=BTF90
My question is obviously, what is a good sturdy, affordable PSU that is a good purchase that can hold this up easy, and also, should I look to replace all the fans in my computer, they are just stock fans from 2003.
Thank you all...
