That psu would work but its not reliable. I had that same psu and it died after 6months luckily it didnt damage anything in my system. Maybe it was just my luck but it should run your system fine.

I know i shouldn't skimp on the psu...i guess il go with the 550w? corsair with the 30$ rebate....

that gtx 260 is going to be seriously bottlenecked by that processor.

Not really...il be able to run anything non rts...crysis and gta

Crysis is just a benchmark and GTA runs fine on my ps3....it will hold me over till i go with a phenom 940 in the coming months :p

Anyone have any input on this psu?

@rewindlabs: You mean this PSU?

If so it`s a nice little bargain, just $10 more than the Rosewill and higher quality.
Do n`t worry about the CPU bottleneck, just crank up the AA/AF and enjoy the superb image quality and framerates:)

The Corsair unit is better. According to the BFG site that supply has 2x12v rails with only 33A combined (1x15 and 1x18 Amps).

Yes but i hate the idea of waiting for that damned rebate :pt1cable: il probably get that one as it was the one i originally wanted and after rebate its the perfect price

 

One of the reviewers said he ran a 260 on it but thats what he says so il stick to the corsair

 

I'm mostly gaming at 1680x1050 but i can't wait to output L4D at 1920x1080 on my 52" lg...... :o

 

GTX 260 with no psu or way to play is depressing...kicks l4d-less ps3...

Look on the bright side mate. We do n`t have rebates here in the UK, just very high prices:(
I really think waiting for the Corsiar is the best option, it`s a better unit that either of the others and the rebate will give you something to look forward to in these long, cool Spring nights.
Do n`t you have to sit in another County to view that TV?

Actually i have an LG 47" and 52"(there the family tv's btw...i use em 24/7 though) and atleast atm when im online in Cod 5 i can't play without standing up from about 6-7 feet....everyone wonders why i always have the edge though ;) can't play worth a shet when im sitting down or am far away from the tv

 


Iv got the perfect LG 22" monitor with 1680x1050 i don't have to go for any super expensive cards and save quite a bit there :D

 

You guys in the UK just get raped don't you :sweat:

 

I actually have 200$ atm but i wanted to keep the purchase under a 100$ to begin with...meh il be ok after i sell all of my consoles towards the i7 or phenom :ouch:
