New build PC - What power suply unit do i need?
Last response: in Systems
hello everyone
im building a new pc for gaming and surfing the internet. can you please help me by helping choose a power supply unit that will be able to support all of these parts. and if you think i should change a certain part, please do so.
my rig would be something like this:
- cm haf 932
- intel s775 asus p5q deluxe
- ddr2 4GB kit 1066MB gskill c5
- intel core 2 duo e8500 or intel core 2 quad q9550
- gtx 260+ 896mb sparkle
- 4 x 3.5" sata 1tb 32mb samsung
- cpu cooler coolermaster v8
- blu-ray w & dvd-rw sony bwu200S 4x
- widescreen lcd monitor 24" asus
- sound card pci auzen x-plosion cinema
- 5.1 spk logitech z-5500d thx
(for the vga the website says it uses ddr3 type memory, but my motherboard and the ram im using only supports ddr2 ram)
question: can i still install the gtx 260 on my motherboard?
what power supply rating should i get and what brand should i trust if i want the power supply unit to last around 5 years?
thank you everytone for your time and help.

I don't see a single Antec on their website... But they do have a very nice Seasonic m12 500W, 600W, 700W, and 850W... they do have some Xigmatek's and some thermaltakes, as well as some apevia's and some generic's.
