PC Peripherals Suggest me a PSU + comment on the RIG I'm planning to buy.

[Amey]

Investment in a powerful PSU never goes waste. Buy Corsair TX750 or so, will suffice you for a very long time.
You may want to compromise certain components right now and buy them later on but never compromise on a good PSU.

guys a REALLY BIG THANK U :hap2: :hap2:for the gr8 responses :hap2: :hap2:. i was totally disillusioned by the X4 and CF and REALLY thot i needed it, and was bout to invest so much for thm.

i don think i need a powerful psu cos i wont be cf-ing or oc-ing. just a good stable one

i cant afford 4 gigs of dd3 ram rite now, and dd3 isnt completely utilised by current software ( i.e to its max capapbilities ), so i'm settling for 4 gigs ddr2

so here's my finalized config.(( edited and refurbished by the peple at techenclave ))


Phenom-II X2 550 BE - 5k
785g chipset based motherboard (MSI or GIGABYTE) - 5k
4870 1 GB ( sapphire ) - 11.1k
4 GB DDR2 ( corsair ) - 3k
Dell 19" ( E1909W ) - 6.7k
Corsair VX 450 - 4k
Seagate 500GB ( the 32mb cache one ) - 2.5k

but i dunno wat case and UPS to buy. i gotta buy case a decent case and UPS (have the APC 500VA in mind) within 4k.
will the UPS handle the entrie rig?? wid the monitor and all????i only need a backup of 15 minutes.

You've made some good choices. Since you are only spending about 38k of your budget on this setup, i would urge you to go the AM3+DDR3 way to ensure support for future AM3 processors. Higher clocked RAM has always done well for AMD and so the DDR3 won't be a wasted expense either(1333Mhz sticks should be in the sweet spot)

Read my last post again, i think you missed some parts, i have made suggestions for the case etc.
