[H]i!
Since upgrading my PSU wouldn't increase my FPS, like a true gaming addict I decided to upgrade the graphics card first, so right now I have the [H]ardware on my signature running on a (how should I put it) low quality PSU (its a LC Power 550W)
I decided to risk it since it could supply my old card (8800GTS 320Mb) and the TDP difference to my new 460GTX wasn't that much.
Anyway, everything works fine while gaming, but I do get unexpected reboot during OCCT GPU test, so that tells me I must switch PSU as soon as possible or I might end up blowing everything away
-I don't plan to buy another PSU anytime soon, so I want something that should keep me running for the next couple of years (probably until ATX3.0 is invented)
-I don't plan on running SLI (when I'll need more FPS there should be a new GPU thats much more efficient then todays), but no problem in getting something that supports it.
-I plan upgrading CPU (to i7 or something better in one year)
-I plan upgrading GPU (perhaps in 2y from now)
-I don't want to spend alot of money (prefer to save it for the CPU haha), so I shouldn't ask for modular PSUs.
I've been looking for the OCZ 600W StealthXStream, Corsair 550VX or 650TX.
The ocz is cheaper, but has 4 rails at 18A, but since both their PCI-E come from the same rail, I don't know if its good enough...
Should I pay the extra price for the Corsair? 550 or 650?
Thanks for your time.
