Here's the deal, I am planning a new build in the next month or so. I have been planning it for a while, just not sure what exactly I am after, but have it fairly well narrowed down. And, lo and behold, yesterday, my cheap-no-name PSU in my old computer fried- My wife says, 'hey, the computer just shut off.' About 2 seconds later I could smeel the stench of fried PSU. It was so hot I couldn't even touch it.
Anyway, I needs a real PSU for my build, might as well buy it now.
System for Photo editing mostly. very rare games
Planning on:
CPU: either quad 9550 or new i7
MB: Asus P5qdeluxe or ?
Vid: something mid grade 100$ or so. I don't need much.
PCI Raid card & 4 drive Raid array.
HD: as above, plus 1 system drive, 1 photoshop scratch drive, one removable drive for backups.
USB devices: multi card reader, Wacom intious tablet
Anything else I forgot?
Edited to add that I will also have 2 DVD-RW drives.
and all of this in the antec 1200 case.
So how much PSU do I need with the above?
Thanks!!
