Juice Box

well i having trouble getting $250 saved to buy the PSU i want and walking around in Fry's today i saw this Newegg.com - VisionTek Juice Box 900222 450W SLI Ready CrossFire Ready Dedicated Graphics & CPU Power Supply - Power Supplies for $99. im thinking about getting this, or should i just continue to save up to get the psu i want sometime?

which PSU do you have in mind that costs $250?

 

[mahiv87]

Newegg.com - CORSAIR CMPSU-1000HX 1000W ATX12V 2.2 / EPS12V 2.91 SLI Ready CrossFire Ready 80 PLUS Certified Modular Active PFC Compatible with Core i7 Power Supply - Power Supplies i guess its a little more than $250

 

[Fat.Clown]

wow, you thinking of upgrading to quad gpu?

if not, even with dual GPUs you can get away with the 750TX, which is a whole lot cheaper

 

[Pinscher]

That is a seriously unnecessary psu unless you are going with 3 or 4 GPUs.

For your current rig, Newegg.com - PC Power & Cooling S61EPS 610W Continuous @ 40°C EPS12V SLI Certified CrossFire Ready 80 PLUS Certified Active PFC Power Supply - Power Supplies here ya go

what's wrong with your psu?

 

[mahiv87]

my psu has only one 6 pin, and i know its overkill but i would rather have a modular psu, its just my preference. if you guys can recommend me a good modular psu that supports SLi/ Crossfire?

Theres plenty, i run this on my rig:

Newegg.com - SILVERSTONE ST70F 700W ATX12V / EPS12V SLI Ready CrossFire Ready 80 PLUS Certified Modular Active PFC Power Supply - Power Supplies
