PSU & Case questions , pls help !
Last response: in Components
Hey guys , I have the following :
intel i7 870 2,93GHZ
nvidia GTX 460 1GB
4GB 1600MHZ ram
Gigabyte GA-H55M-UD2H
soundblaster audigy (old)
asus dvd-rw (old)
1TB seagate HDD - 7,200 rpm
500GB seagate HDD (old) - 7,200rpm
-very cheap crappy case (20$ - 1x 80mm fan)
> CHIEFTEC A-80 500 W PSU <
I have been having different problems with the CPU (like it reaching 98 degrees C ) , and I want to invest in buying the uber cool HAF 922 (stock fans) by CoolerMaster... and sometime later in buying the CM Hyper 212+ cooler for my cpu.
PSU question : Will my current 500 W chieftec be able to support my full spec computer including the HAF 922 and the hyper 212 without being any risk of it burning out or must I hurry to invest in a larger maybe 750 W psu ? .. and if so could you please give me ur opinion on what PSU would be best for my specs and with a well DECENT price ?
Case question : Will the HAF 922 (which I have seen that alot of ppl love) , be able to fix at least a big part of my CPU overheating issue ?
Thank you so much !

yes it'll help... getting the air circulation in the case is a good start to have cool rigs...
Technically a single GTX 460, one sound card and two HDD's shouldn't pose a problem with 500W... Is your chieftec the super series or nitro series??? if it is and its less than year old then it would be OK...
