I've been reading a lot of posts about PSUs here, and elsewhere, but I still don't feel confident enough to figure out what PSU I will need.
So, I am just going to list all the components I would need powered and ask what you guys would get. System will include:
MSI P6N Platinum mobo
Q6600 cpu
8800gt gpu with stock cooler (and possibly another 8800gt later if I go SLI and possibly better coolers)
2x2gb 800mhz DDR2 and possibly double that later on
2x IDE Hard Drives
1 cd/dvd drive (not burner)
ZALMAN CNPS7000B-ALCU 92mm 2 Ball Cooling Fan
3x 120mm fans (estimating here, not sure how many fans I'll end up with)
Razer Diamondback Mouse
a cheap keyboard
I think that is everything. I also may try overclocking.
So, if you were to power the above system for as cheap as possible, but allowing for possible overclocking and a couple upgrades (such as 2x 8800gt cards or another HD), what PSU would you get and where would you order it from and how much does it cost?
Thanks in advance, any expert opinions will be greatly appreciated as I am totally new to computer building.
