[QUOTE=Undomian;24671494]Here's where I'm getting my info for 480 power draw. [URL]http://nl.hardware.info/reviews/1704/12/4-way-sli-geforce-gtx-480-test-stroomverbruik[/URL] Even with a bit of overclocking, a lesser PSU will do fine. Both of those cases will fit all of your parts well, and both are very nice. In the end, its pretty much down to whether you want a full tower or a mid tower and the aesthetic that you like the most.[/QUOTE] Alright. I think I'll keep the 750W then. I guess I'll cross the case road when I come to the conclusion on which one I like better.
[QUOTE=ADT;24671504]Are you an idiot ? This PSU is overkill [editline]10:21PM[/editline] Very good choice, mate. Go for it[/QUOTE] yeah good job making him get a lesser power supply to save a whopping $20, yeah lets just all buy power supplies that can only power our one computer and whenever we need to upgrade we'll just buy another high priced one, great idea [editline]05:45PM[/editline] [QUOTE=DaDillsta;24671550]Alright.

I might still go with it I'm just reading up on the consumption rates and quality. It seems like a good brand and I'll probably end up getting it anyways.
enermax is the best brand for power supplies [editline]06:22PM[/editline] and it's not overkill, you won't have to buy a power supply for like 8 years or more

Antec and Corsair are better choice for quality branchs anyway And your last argument is stupid. It's not a vacuum, god damn [editline]08:33AM[/editline] Dadillsta, don't listen to Odellus for this one.
Your only proper argument seems to be 'because he doesn't need it now he shouldn't get it' If he spends $20 more now he could save spending $100 in the future
Not only "because he doesn't it", but it's just a marketing way to cacth idiots and ignorants. It's not like computers in the future will be like vacuums or microwaves, in the terms of power consumption. Processors uses less and less power with multiples cores, but the main problem is just about graphic cards. Even my Q9550/GTX 460 1GB build use only ~300W (p.c. for the whole system) at maximum.

Funfact: Enermax made the first retail PSU.
[QUOTE=reapaninja;24687093]what the fuck are you on enermax is a great brand[/QUOTE] Lol good to hear. Glad I finally have a final setup in place for once. I can't wait to get this thing built.

Don't make me do it again [editline]03:22PM[/editline] [QUOTE=ADT;24684709]Not only "because he doesn't it", but it's just a marketing way to cacth idiots and ignorants.

Let's make love then.
hurr durr ran out of arguments
GG guys. So is there a distinct advantage to the thermal paste over Artic Silver 5 and would I need to buy the tube anyways since it says it comes with some with the heatsink? I'll buy whichever one I just want to know what the advantages are. Probably like 1-2 Celsius right?
[url]http://www.frozencpu.com/products/11398/thr-80/Tuniq_TX-4_High_Performance_Thermal_Grease_-_30g.html[/url] best thermal paste in the world right now
[QUOTE]That build isn't even going to get close to drawing 600w under load. The OP could easily go with a lesser PSU(I'd personally go with a 650HX or something to that effect) with no issues.[/QUOTE] However if they decide to get dual 480gtx later on, they won't need to upgrade the psu. I was just thinking for more down the road on that one.
[QUOTE=ritzick;24700415]However if they decide to get dual 480gtx later on, they won't need to upgrade the psu. I was just thinking for more down the road on that one.[/QUOTE] By the time anyone feels the need to SLI a 480, newer, better cards will have been out for quite awhile.

as5 isnt even comparable to tx4
[QUOTE=Odellus;24707639]as5 isnt even comparable to tx4[/QUOTE] Yeah, you listed TX-3 but I think I'm going to spend the extra and get the TX-4.

yeah I forgot about FrozenCPU
Yeah, thanks for the all the help.
Funfact: Enermax also makes the best retail PSUs.
I know this is probably a dumb question but do they have really good support? Oh and btw, that PSU is out of stock and "deactivated" so I don't know if it will be back in stock. Sadly I was supposed to be able to order my shit today but something got fucked up along the way and I wont have my check until next Friday. So I need to pick a new one or wait til then I guess.
