I m building a gamming rig. The list of my approved items just contains an ATI HD4850 so far.
The pending list is PSU (Corsair vs. Cooler Master), mobo (MSI Neo P43 vs. ASUS P5QL-Pro-P43 Based), and an E7200. I hope I m keepin plenty of room for future expansion wid a PCIx2 based slot, Core 2 Extreme support and a 16 GB of RAM (in MSI board).
I wanna know which PSU I should opt for my choices are only three!
1. Corsair 650 WATTS SLI READY (TX650W). (Also plz differentiate b/w modular and non modular PSUs of Corsair i.e. HX's vs. TX's). http://www.corsair.com/products/tx.aspx
All of them lie in the same price band. I m currently tilted towards Corsair as I love their memory sticks. There efficiency levels are almost the same. It comes to who really is the expert in the field. Thats what I think! wat do u think who's the daddy?
I have the Corsair TX650 and a 1 X 4850 - they both work great but my PSU is 100W over-kill. For gaming on a single GPU, the TX550W is probably enough. Also, I would go with a P45 MB (such as P5Q). P45 gets you better OCing down the road if you try to get longer life out of your CPU. I just have not seen any advantage to the P43 MB's (really, not even cost).
ok wat mite be the deciding factor is that the modular has a 3x12V rails each carrying 18 amps a net of 54amps. and the non modular has 1x12V rail carrying a huge 52amps charge. Wats the better approach divide n conquer or united v stand??? i mean hx (http://www.corsair.com/products/hx.aspx) or tx (http://www.corsair.com/products/tx.aspx) ?
I snagged a corsair modular 750.. It has plenty of connections before being modular. It seems to have clean power.. super quiet.. well worth the cash..
