PSU Comparison need help

Hello,

I am looking at purchasing a new case and power supply for my system. I am looking at these two different options for cases and PSU's. Any thoughts as to which will be better for cooling and system expansion in the future? Any other suggestions?

Here is my system:

1. Intel Core i5 750 Lynnfield 2.66GHz LGA 1156 95W Quad-Core Processor
2. GIGABYTE GA-P55-UD4P LGA 1156 Intel P55 ATX Intel Motherboard
3. SAMSUNG Black 22X DVD Burner Black SATA Model SH-S223B
4. Western Digital Caviar Black WD1001FALS 1TB 7200 RPM SATA 3.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard x 1 (for backup)
5. Western Digital VelociRaptor WD3000HLFS 300GB 10000 RPM SATA 3.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive x 2 (In RAID 1)
6. LG W2043T-PF Black 20" 5ms(GTG) Widescreen LCD Monitor x 3
7. Geek Squad 1500VA UPS/Battery Back-Up System
8. Diamond HD4850 1GB PCI-Express Video Card x 2 or Diamond HD4670 1GB PCI-Express Video Card x 2 (still deciding)
9. G.SKILL Trident 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 2000 (PC3 16000) Desktop Memory Model F3-16000CL9D-4GBTD

Here are the cases I am considering:

Thanks

I agree about the cases. The Scout isn't a full tower though so you might feel cramped a bit. The Corsair psu is definitely my choice but would you prefer a modular psu? You can get the 620hx for a bit more and it might help you out w/ case clutter if you end up not needing most of the cables.

I looked at photos of the Csmos 1000. I'd choose the Storm Scout due to better ventilation, airflow, and cooling.

Both of those psu's are very good. I just recommended both of them in another thread. If you decide to go with Antec make sure it is the "Truepower New" version and not the older version. Here is a link to a technical review:

Time to get back to Monday Night Football.

Thanks for the reply. Did you replace the stock fans or add additinal ones for better cooling? I like the looks of the Cosmos 1000 better but am worried about the cooling.

+1 for the TP New but the link you have is for the earthwatts 750W. Definitely get the TP New instead.

Oops, thanx ragsters

I agree about the Antec Truepower New (80+ bronze), AND, if you're still deciding on the video card(s), I would choose any brand other than Diamond. They earned a place on my personal "Do not buy" list for incompetent/irrelevant tech support, uselessly buggy web site, incomplete listings, bad drivers, failure to have their products listed on the AMD/ATI web site, etc, etc, ... There are too many good products (I like HIS for ATI) out there for me to ever need to consider buying Diamond.

A lot of my inspiration came from TJ Harlow a well respected guy from youtube. Look at his earlier stuff with the Cosmos.

In terms of fans just got ones that were cheap at the time and had LED. I am using 9-120mm LED Antec case fans. I got them on sale from Frys for like $7-$8 at the time.

I also got the inside of my case powder coated black from a local powder coating company which cost me $110.

Thanks for your comments on my build.

Coolermiester does plenty of Cosmos builds as well. Might want to check those out.

Project is going well and yes I ordered the case It should be to me by mid next week. I am a little nervious due to the size but it should fit just fine where I need to put it. I am looking at the Antec, Cooler Master, Xigmatek, or Thermaltake fans. Any preferences between these brands?

These look pretty good. It matches the case, it has good airflow and there is free shipping.
