I need some advice with the PSU. Im leaning toward a 750w or should i go with a 850w?

Also has anyone had any experince with the Quadro 2000, is this a good card for the presentations and inventor? or recommend something better or more basic?

And if this was your build what would u add? bigger ssd? better cooler?awesome lights?

Thank you for the help cheers

This PSU is more than enough for your build CORSAIR Enthusiast Series TX650M 650W 80+ bronze modular http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139031

750 is definitely plenty for that build, might be a little overkill. You could probably get by with 650.

Quaddro is a good professional card. I'd suggest if this were a workstation go with a Xeon setup instead of an i7-2600K, try this:

- Motherboard: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131725 - Asus P8B
- CPU: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819115082 - Intel Xeon E3-1245
- RAM: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820139575 - Kingston 8GB server RAM 1333MHz

And if this was your build what would u add? bigger ssd? better cooler?awesome lights?

I'd get a different SSD - the Corsair Force 3 has a lot of issues associated with the Sandforce firmware - go with this instead:

The Hyper 212 is a good choice for cooler, but alternately you could check out this article if you want some cooling suggestions:

I really like Akasa's Voodoo Venom for its' ease of installation.

Don't waste your money on "awesome lighting" - that's not important to the build, you can get that stuff later. The 600T has some really nice lighting and color scheme. For your budget - the GPU and PSU are the most important parts of any build, bar none, and you want to get the best you can get for the money, and skimping in these areas to get useless accessories is never a good thing, IMO.

Pardon my ignorance but what would be the differences between that build and my build?

I will definitely go with the Crucial M4 SSD! that was gonna be my second choice.

The Akasa's Voodoo seems to have a really good rep and the unique look is a bonus

:lol: it was a joke, there is no way im going for that its too much of a distraction :lol:

The Xeon is a far more workstation friendly CPU than the i7 is and it has a way different set of instructions that will make it easier for rendering apps to understand than the 2600K will.

I wish I had seen that Akasa fan before I got the EVGA one - I would have picked that up in half a second.

True - I don't want my PCs having more lights than Vegas. :lol:
