basically It allows power to be used more efficently.

thanks for the input guys, that 500$ one seems like a bit of a rip off. what would recomend as second best?

 

[MAXIMILIAN]

anyone an expert with another component?

 

[Ste]

If you want the second Best one, Overall I would go with the 600 Watt OCZ.

DFI is way better than Asus if you want to overclock. eVGA is the best for nvidia video cards so i'd go with them. Just as yo yo kid said, soundblaster x-fi is the best sound card out there. I'll leave the other components to my fellow TF buddies
