Building a new computer system and not sure where to start? Click Here! (9/4/09)

charm_quark · Jul 8, 2009, 03:05 AM

well, I'll have to see how i get it( partially that what determines what i get), probably ask a friend to get it from uk or the states, coz here, the prices are about the same.... and i dont think i'll be getting warranty that easily here.....

Cow_160483 · Jul 8, 2009, 05:29 AM

Yo dude that system is shaping up nicely

**kris23** · Jul 8, 2009, 12:55 PM

yea its probably best if you ask someone in the states.... the prices are crazy good

would love to see this updated with the new i5 and i7 cores.
Anyway, very good job Kris and nice of you to spend so much time to make an easy guide for the hazardous road of computer hardware!

COOLER MASTER 700W Silent Pro Active Modular PSU on eBay (end time 12-Oct-09 20:22:43 BST)

can anyone help me decide, or if you have any other suggestions that would also help thanks

***craig5320*** · Oct 7, 2009, 05:30 AM

I'd got for a Corsair PSU, I think you can get an 850W on that budget which should be plenty.

HX850W: http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showpr...odid=CA-019-CS

**kris23** · Oct 7, 2009, 09:16 AM

grab one of these

PC Power & Cooling Silencer 910W Power Supply [] Power Supplies PC Power & Cooling

Corsair HX 850W ATX Modular SLI Compliant Power Supply (CMPSU-850HXUK) [CMPSU-850HXUK] Power Supplies Corsair

theyre a bit over 120 though but their quality is top notch

gamerguy127 · Oct 9, 2009, 04:42 PM

cant really afford those, any opinions on the ones i have given??

**kris23** · Oct 9, 2009, 05:57 PM

theyre all coolermaster and thermaltake.... coolermaster i believe has a bit of a ripple problem on their new silent pro line and thermaltake is decent... but expensive for nothing over their competitors.......

try this one:

Corsair TX 850W ATX SLI Compliant Power Supply (CMPSU-850TXUK) [CMPSU-850TXUK] Power Supplies Corsair

gamerguy127 · Oct 11, 2009, 01:49 PM

**kris23** · Oct 11, 2009, 01:57 PM

**temeteus82** · Oct 26, 2009, 07:36 AM

Sounds like some issue with gfx card or the VGA/DVI cable from the card to monitor...
