You know the drill...

Well, the time has come again, for me to upgrade my computer. Which I don't want to do, cause this thing is a hunk of crap, so I'm building a new one from scratch. Now, it's nothing spectacular or anything, no expensive PSUs. I'll be going for the PSU case combo (lol?)

So, I went with a small video card, I won't be gaming on it, just general use. And could someone tell me if that hdd will work with it or not? Thanks!

I know your trying to save money, but it isn't wise to go for a cheap PSU.

Yea, a cheap PSU, isn't a smart choice. It is one of the most, if not, most important component in the PC. If the PSU, blows out, theres a chance it could take down everything else with it.

 

[willsko87]

Oh and that HDD should work fine...

 

[blackhawk13]

Ahhh. Fair enough, I'll go the extra mile on the PSU if it's that important hehe. They're expensive though. Hmm... Lemme see here.

Yes? No? Thanks for the input so far .

From memory the Thermaltake PSU's aren't the best. I could be wrong. I would go for that Antec Smart Power 2.0

In my price range .

agreed, thermaltake power supplies aren't great. the Antec PSU you linked to is alright......

edit: hey wilsko87, do you trade on OCAU?

Spot on. Shouldn't have any problems with that.

edit: hey wilsko87, do you trade on OCAU?

Err...no. Wanna explain?

 

[Nitestick]

mistaken identity i guess

i could have sworn i'd seen you posting on OCAU and seeing as i spend 99% of mu time on the trading section i presumed that's where i'd seen you.
