| Biggerboat said: Thanks for the info. Would you say the PSU is the right choice? I'm not sure if 650W is overkill & I've also heard that it is important to spend on a good brand, which I've obviously not, what are your thoughts? |
Well the basic idea is that the PSU touches everything in your system. If your power isn't clean (ie steady) it can damage components over time. With your rig I think the 650W PSU is probably a safe recommendation in terms of providing the power needed.
As for brand name vs non-brand name. Its not a hard-fast rule by any means but when I go with a less known brand I look for things like a warranty and reviews to make sure it's a reliable part. Typically though if the brand-name part is within the budget I would go for it just to err on the side of caution.
Also, Jake's suggestion is pretty horrible...but you probably guessed that =P
