Power Supplies!

[psynide]

Newegg is having a sale. oh man.
im in the process of upgrading my computer, its just a stock asus i5 from best buy i bought last year. gonna get a gtx460 or something eventually.

just in the process of upgrading for bf3, skyrim d3 and whatever else is coming out this year.

1000 watts or 730?

1000 watt

730 watt

just wondered what your opinions are.

I have a 1 watt power supply

That 750watt supply seems to be a steal

In Future, Put this in the Tech Talk, we love to hear these stories!

1000w would be more future proof.

also, I would never buy a psu that was not antec, corsair, or thermaltake. You are asking for fried components IMO when you stray from the trusted brands.

Agreed, Antec is what I would buy, heck it is what I own,
I would only recommend Antec or Thermalake for long term...
But the 750 is a steal!!! good for a backup PC

figured this would be a better place to post since i play with these guys.

and i know its not a major brand like corsair but for 60 bucks, hard to pass up.

im going to be needing a new case as well, anyone have recommendations?

just keep in mind that even if you got a power supply for free, if it ends up frying your parts, it was a poor investment.

as for cases, do you need full tower or mid tower? how much would you be able to spend on a case?

id spent about 100ish on a tower, preferably lower. A midtower would be fine i believe, i just know i want to get a gtx460 or something of the sort and thats a pretty big card. im not sure what kind of room ill end up needing though.
