I'm buying a new rig very soon, but cant decide on the psu.
Here's preliminary specs:
antec p182 case
Q9450 cpu
3870x2 or 9800gtx
4 harddrives
2 dvd-rw drives
asus x48 rampage formula
5 120mm fans
auzentech prelude (maybe)
4GB (2*2GB) corsair 8500 ddr2, but I might go with 6GB (2*2GB + 2*1GB)
I plan to overclock the cpu to 3.2 GHz, but i might go as high as 3.4 GHz depending on my success. Initially, im not going to overclock the graphics card, but I might try a mild overclock later.
If i go with the 3870x2 i might buy another later to go crossfireX, but then again i probably won't because I only game at 1680*1050.
The HX620 is nice because its modular (and more silent?) and the TX750 got some extra power. It's a tough choice, they are both about the same price. One thing that concerns me is that the TX750 might be a tight fit in the p182 case, because of the fan in the lower chamber. Anyone running this particular setup, please share your experiences.
Any help to decide would be great. Thanks in advance
edit: just to add that I'm talking about Corsair HX620 and Corsair TX750
