LIAN LI PC-P80 power supply and video card help.

[Geltabz101]

Ok, I have a LIAN LI PC-P80 (black, not the crazy expensive one) with a MSI X58 Eclipse SLI LGA 1366 Intel X58 ATX Intel Motherboard. Intel Core i7 920 2.66GHz 4 x 256KB L2 Cache 8MB L3 Cache LGA 1366 Quad-Core Processor and Patriot Viper 6GB (3 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) DesktopMemory. I had a good year so I sold my other 2 comp. and started new. (wasn't paying attention to price and well this is all I got right now.) Anyways, so I wanted to put http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817814012 ABS Tagan BZ Series BZ1100 1100W but I have only swapped psu's never bought new one for new case. Will this fit ? I intend to put some good video cards in. Also, any suggestions for video cards?

Yeah it will. Tagan seems to be a solid PSU - my previous PSU was a Tagan BZ700. The only problem is that it buzzed during idle... RMA'ed it and still the new one does the same... couldn't be bothered with it. Still working fine.

VDO card - 4870 or 4870x2 for the ATI path... and the 260 or 280 for the Nvidia path.

You dont need a psu rated that high... even if you wanted SLI or Crossfire something in the range or 600-800w would be plenty.
