Subject: [PCBUILD] PC Build Questions - First Total Build

 
 
I'm putting together my first complete build as a main home computer.  So far 
things are coming together like this:

MSI P6N Platinum Mobo
2GB A-Data DDR2 800 RAM
Conroe E6600 CPU
Seagate 320 GB HDD
BFG Tech BFGR73256GTOCE GPU
DVD burner drive

Now, I'm down to the PSU. In the future, I'm looking to be able to run SLI. I 
will only be doing minor OC'ing, if any at all.  Would 500W be enough to power 
this machine?

 web based bulletinboard for questions and answers:

Hello Sam,

my choice would be the 600 watt Zalman with heat pipe system.
It's silent and has a good price, 119 euro here in Europe so it has to be the same in dollars.
Four years ago I bought an Antec True Blue 480 watt and never regretted it.
The PSU now feeds an MSI Dual CPU mobo ( server board ) which is my workstation.
But now I would go for the Zalman which we installed in an colleague computer and is much more silent than the Antec.

All the best,
Roger.
