I have a Antec 380 pushing this stuff as i have been the last 2 years. I need something that will power me in my next build if possible in 2 years... say at least a 750 watt.. I was looking at the corsair 750tx cuz tat was "THE" psu during the reign of 775 from what I could tell...Also I would like to ether raid 4 sata drives in the future are two SSD's when the price comes down to 25 cents a gig are so. I would rather have speed over storage as I only need about 1 tb total that would be all.
I also have some Definitive Promedia 100 speakers that blow away the logitech x230's... I would particulerly like to get an amp are a small cheap reciver and get a 12 inch sub and a custom MDF box for my 2.1 setup.. I would also like the Best 2.1 Surround Sound card for Music and Movies. 192khz any diffrent from 96khz as far as taht goes?
Also I have the q9550 that xigmatek a p43 chipset... and some ddr3 for a reason. I was wondering... IM not sure about the overclocking part but need some more info for later as for now I WILL NOT be ocing on that 380 watt. It is however held strong from mid 2008 pushing 5 case fans 2 dvd burners a hardrive 8800gt. q9550 and a microatx and 4gb of ram since then....
I even took the psu apart and looked at the caps... no bulding and the rails are still strong... I got a jewel but need to retire it in an htpc are soemthing to die in.
Thx guys.
