I'd like you to take a look at this gaming build and tell me what you think, as well as giving advice on what PSU wattage to get. I plan on overclocking the GPU and the CPU (and RAM if needed). Here's the build:
CPU: Intel Core 2 Duo E8400 3,0GHz
GPU: Asus GeForce EN9800GTX
RAM: Crucial Ballistix DDR2 PC6400/800MHz CL4 2x2GB
PSU: Corsair CMPSU-520HXEU 520W
Corsair CMPSU-550VXEU 550W
Corsair CMPSU-650TXEU 650W
HDD: Western Digital Caviar SE16 WD5000AAKS 16MB 500GB
MoBo: Asus P5E
DVD: Samsung SH-S203P
Case: Chieftec Giga GX-01B
OS: Microsoft Windows Vista Home Premium 64-bit
I can get the 9800GTX really cheap right now, so that is one thing I'm not changing. How many watts will I need? I've understood that more than 650 is overkill for anything not SLI or Crossfire. I might be getting another 2 RAM sticks of the same kind later though, so I'll need it to work with that as well.
Thanks for any advice!
