Is my PSU good enough for this build

**jbgoode** · 04-22-12 at 11:53 PM

....a PSU that I purchased about 2 years ago

Altho Coolermaster is a serious manufactured with a good reputation, I would keep an eye on that thing. If your box starts painting blue screens of death on your screen then youll know what to do

1600 memory gives more than just a small advantage when gaming over 1333 I suggest some of you view some benchmarks where gains of 5 FPS can be seen on gaming with 1600 memory as opposed to 1333. The good thing is though, is that memory can easily be overclocked to 1600 from 1333, so really no need to pay the extra.

Another change,
Changed the 2600K and gonna wait on the 3770.
Anyone give me the difference between all the different ones;
3770, 3770k, 3770S, 3770T
I'm not thinking of over clocking but may in the future, but does the missing feature on the 3770K make that much of a difference?

The old GTX460 is still hanging in there, you might wanna go with it. Price is similar to 7770 and 550ti. If you ever feel like you wanna step up your game you can always overclock it like crazy or slap on another GTX460 for SLI since they are cheap.

Code: Select All

460 wants more power and more heat then new gpus...better to go with fresh ones, even tho 460 is still great gpu

Thanks guys, will check out these GPU's,
3770K is going on Sale this Sunday for delivery Wednesday so I will probably build without the GPU for now and change the one I bought for a recommened one.

His PSU on last update was "Thermaltake - SMART Series - 750W ATX12V 2.3/ EPS12V 2.91" That is more than enogh for the GTX460 and the rest of the parts he has going on.

And still has the same features as the "Fresh ones" DX11, CUDA, PhysX, 3D vision...
