PSU and Case

cwadagee · 11-04-2009, 09:39 AM

Just to see what your opinion on this would be..

CPU - Intel Core 2 Duo E8500 - 3.16Ghz 6Mb L2
MB - Intel Extreme DP45SG -
Ram - CORSAIR 4GB 1333MHz CL9 DDR3 Memory Kit
GPU - GeForce 9800GTX

HDD i'll be swapping over also with the DVD r/w

Putting that into a Cool Master RC 690... Will that case be fine or too much for what im doing?

Still stuck on what PSU to get for it, looking to spend no more than £50 on it unless i really have to go over.

Might i suggest PSU calculator? Click Here

And when your looking for a PSU always look at the amps and not so much the wattage

I know i have to get a 500W PSU, im just wondering which one to get..
seeing as there's hundreds out there, im not sure whats decent enough for £50

Those PSU calculators are really no good. Perhaps the Pro one would be good, but the standard that just calculates watts is mostly pointless. Perhaps next time I shut this down I'll connect my Kill-A-Watt and see just how many watts this desktop pulls.

Anyway, I see nothing wrong with that case. I'm a big Cooler Master fan myself. But as for a PSU, you really need to talk with someone more from your area since I don't know many reliable sites for outside the states. But locally, I get my stuff from Newegg. Maybe you could see what other users have and have rated highly then see what you can find locally?
