Ok guys (or girls) i need some help here. My computer is almost finished and i just need one last peice of hardware. The Powersupply. I really want to try and save as much cash as possible here as I have spent a huge amount of money on this thing already. First off I'll give you the specs on it since I know that's pretty much a need to know thing for hardware.
Motherboard: XFX NVIDIA nForce 780i SLI Intel Motherboard
Heatsink: Zalman 9700
Processor: Intel Core 2 Quad Q9650 3.0 GHZ (attempt to overclock to 3.5)
RAM: 2G x 4 (8 Gigtotal)
GPU: XFX GTX-285 (Going for Tri-SLI, but might settle for just two)
Also 6 LED 120 MM fans, and 1 LED 200 MM fan with a blu-ray burner.
So basicly here is what I'm looking at. It's a Silverstone and it is a 1000 Watt powersupply. I Originally wanted a 1200 watt, but like i said trying to save a little money. Found out that the GTX-285 takes a considerable amount LESS energy then a 280 (what i was originally going to get) so I figured going less would be ok.
A.) Will 1000 watt be plenty and if so do you know of a better powersupply around the same price range? (I like pretty lights lol)
B.) Will I be able to go even lower then 1000 and save a bit more?
C.) Should Stick with the 1200 watt and once again if so any recomendations of qaulity with a decent price?
If someone does help me it would be nice if you drop me a message saying you replied cause i don't check sticky's often. Thank yous! ^.^
EDIT: Also my case is a fucking huge full tower so i don't need to worry about wires.
CURRENTLY PLAYING: Warframe, Witcher 2
