New Custom Pc Advice/tips

A bit dated now as those ratings were posted in 2007, but still relevant for the cards listed, no doubt cards released later will be different.
Even so a useful find BallerAll and I will save that.
So to be on the safe side you should be looking for a PSU above 600 watts, if one at 750W isn't beyond the budget go for that. What can deliver a lot can deliver less.
Just for the fun of it, a power supply for some of those top user cards, it might be cheaper to buy a welder. In fact I have welded thin stuff at lower amperages LOL.

Nev.

 

Well thats everything, thank you everyone for your great help, especially dalo.

 

500 Watts - talk about covering your back.........

The 560 ti uses 150 Watt (at idle) and 350 Watt MAX (at load)

With the other kit that you plan to have in the system I would go for around a 650 - 750 Watt PSU
(if you are looking to go down the SLI route in the future then build that in too and go for a 1000Watt

Any of the main manufacturers such as Corsair, OCZ, Antec will be fine

 

Oh and I want to dual screen. Not necessarily for gaming but for general use like watching a movie on one and general use on the other.
Would this require a bigger PSU or better GPU?

 

As long as your not planning to use intensive apps on each screen then that GPU will be fine, and the PSU too

 

Awesome. But if I ever do decide to duel screen with gaming. Would that be ok, or is that what you call intensive apps?

 

I just found out that unfortunately cant get this PC at the current time but in September some time.
So my question is, will the parts become, i dont want to say outdated but what im trying to say is that if I were to come back on these forums in September and redesign my pc wil any parts be different? Will i have to get any better parts, to keep up with time? (you know because as times go's on good parts become cheaper and newer better parts come out)

 

Chances are, Yes the advice will change as some parts available now may not be available in a few months or some better parts may well drop in price, but the majority of the information and parts recommended will stay the same

and well be here in September to answer any questions you have then, even if they are the same, all I would say is remember the address of this thread as it might help to refer back to it again

 

Awesome thank you

 

New Technology costs more as it becomes available.

Takes a long time for prices to come down.

Only superseded stock or generic gets cheaper here.

We haven't got Neweg here in OZ to keep prices competitive.

SSD's are a stupid price

 

thing is as I was informed by Dalo, but the silicon chip market is highly competitive, and highly volatile, so the big internet suppliers buy in bulk, and the chances are that buy the time they get round to re-supplying hardware technology has moved on, or chip availability has resulted in a re-design, which means you can get similar, but not the same

this also results in them trying not to end up with to much old stock, which means when they get to the last couple of thousand units they start putting them into bundles, or on special offers.

new technology will always start high in price like SSD's as they will try and make back the cost of development as fast as possible, and newer hard to produce components are in short supply, but as the manufacturing side catches up and production costs lower, so does the end unit price.

so its very possible over the next 10/12 weeks availability and prices will change

 

Great explanation, Match!

That is probably as clear and succinct an explanation as I have heard.

Thanks from all of us looking for clarity in their lives.
