I'm building a new rig at the end of this month and I can't decide which way to go with the PSU.
Specs:
i7 860
8GB Gskill Ripjaws
UD4P
5850
Coolermaster V10
Patriot Torqx 128GB / 300GB Vraptor / 1TB Seagate
X-Fi Fatality
DVD burner
CM Storm Scout
I could use the Corsair 520HX from this build and use one of the Coolermaster 500w Silent Pros I have laying around in my current rig. However I might go CF5850s later and I'm not sure if the 520HX would be enough.
I've also thought about buying a 750HX for my new rig, the only reason I'm not totally sold on it is price. I'm running tight on my budget atm and I dunno if I want to spend $160 on a psu.
So on that note I was thinking of the 650HX since its a little cheaper, but then I'm like well what is $30 bucks really and is the 650HX worth upgrading from the 520HX for.
Finally, after reading some posts here, I'm considering the Antec 750 TrueNewBlue because its currently $104 at newegg. It scored well at JohnnyGuru and $100 for a quality 750W is easier to swallow. The only negative I've read about the Antec is that it isn't really modular, which is something I really like about the Corsairs since the Scout case is kind of cramped.
Thoughts?
