Why force us to click through each and every component, when you could simply copy & paste a list in this thread?

It is not really about what he thinks. More so what does the manufacture recommend for the card you are asking about.

Also a google search shows you the info you may want to know..

Surely their rebate service has improved... http://hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=1278841

His original pick has a rebate too, albeit a smaller one.

If you look in the FS/FT forum, there are some cheap 5870 cards there.

The Corsair is a good PSU, and so is my personal preference, a Seasonic X-650. The efficeincy curve on this PSU stays above 90&#37; from low the low 100w area to 588w. That's a really wide curve to be above 90% efficient. The power from that thing is extremely clean and stable, and it's a relatively quiet PSU on top of all that.

Gaming, i'd go with a true 120Hz LCD - they are fantastic and worth the money for enjoyable faster paced gaming.

For a mouse, pick up a 500-1000Hz poling rated mouse

Samsung F3 1tb

Call it a day

Sorry but Corsair PSU's (aka rebranded Seasonic) is OK, and much better than your average cheapie power supply but... You cannot beat a solid Enermax PSU.

Quite the hike in price if you can afford it, but excellent... and I mean excellent PSU's with a step above in construction and extremely quiet - I'd go with silent actually, even at full load.

Enermax Modu87+ 700watt

I think the phrase you're looking for is rip-off.

I think the phrase you're looking for is rip-off.

Only in your opinion That TX PSU is a cheap piece of garbage FYI.

As an example: I passed on an old P35 board, CPU and RAM combo to my younger bother recently that was previously running off of an Enermax 625watt Modu80+ and would run solid at 3.9ghz (Core 2 Duo Wolfdale CPU) and 8GB of ram - ran without a single crash for over a year straight. Rock solid in every way.

My brother now owns this combo, and I decided to keep my PSU for a different system I used to hook up to my TV/stereo - he swore that these Corsair 650 watts were great PSU's... well, not so much. He can only run at 3.2ghz and has to lower his ram speed for stability with 8GB.... the ONLY difference was this cheap power supply Go figure right?

 

[tomoyo]

Lol I'd believe you there except I don't. PSUs just supply power, if that power is within ripple and voltage limits, there is no difference which psu you have in this case. Overclocking results are completely non-applicable here unless the psu itself is supplying bad power, obviously it is not.

 

[theAnimal]

Only in your opinion

Considering the 2 very high quality PSUs in my sig cost about $100 less than the Enermax each, I don't think it's opinion.
