Thats pretty cheap with the rebates, and quite a good psu, but i wouldnt say its future proof.


Look at the ThermalTake Toughpower (TP only) 700w+ or the OCZ GameXstream 700W+.

Also the PC Power & Cooling and Seasonic make amazing psu's

will the oine that i listed in the first post fine with newer motherboards and 2 video cards abd stuff?

 

[teutoniswolf]

will it mess up if i hook up two video cards SLI even though its noit "certified SLI"?

 

[dai]

if you are going to run 2 cards go with the 750w

 

[teutoniswolf]

hey man i thank you for all of your help and patience and stuff and the 750 looks awesome, my only problem is that i dont have that much money, so would it be better go just go and get the free one from tigerdirect and sell my old psu after i get the new one on e-bay then start saving for new components and stuff?

 

[linderman]

yeah what the hell / get the free one; its far better than your Dell PSU



but I wouldnt SLI any 600 watt PSU with the newer video cards

 

[teutoniswolf]

just out of curiosity, why shouldnt i run SLI with the 600 watt power supply? it wont be able to handle it?

 

[dai]

it depends on what model video cards as linderman pointed out the newer ones will need a 750w quality psu
a 600w may start and you will think that's great,until it blows and you have to replace it and maybe a few other components along with it
