Unless it is an OCZ re-branded version of a power and cooling PSU, then don't bother. If you need something cheap, try cooler master.

VaporX Posted March 30, 2012 Posted March 30, 2012 NOT OCZ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Unless it is an OCZ re-branded version of a power and cooling PSU, then don't bother.

Tjj226_Angel Posted March 30, 2012 Posted March 30, 2012 (edited) You do know that PC&C is now making all OCZ power supplies right? Yes, the exception is Microcenter. That is why I am telling him this. They still have a lot of old inventory from the days when OCZ was a PC death sentence. They do have a couple that are power and cooling, but not many. In fact I was just there a week ago and some kid was in there buying a whole new pc because his OCZ PSU killed his mobo GPU and CPU. So please watch out for old OCZ PSUs.

Paradax Posted April 1, 2012 Posted April 1, 2012 Yah I know, its one of the newer ones but I found a better deal on a cooler master. Thanks for the warnings. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paradax Posted April 2, 2012 Posted April 2, 2012 New Question - See first post Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
El_Capitan Posted April 2, 2012 Posted April 2, 2012 Sent you a PM. Price is relative, but the GTX 560 Ti 448's performance lies closer to that of a GTX 570 than the GTX 560 Ti. Tough choice between the three, it really depends on whether you want/need the extra FPS and if you're going to overclock or not.

Paradax Posted April 2, 2012 Posted April 2, 2012 As the original post says, this computer needs to be able to play games for the next three to four years @ 1680x1050. The extra fps isnt a big deal currently im just trying to decide what would be best for a few years down the road. The card, no matter what i go with will not be overclocked initially, but probably will be later just to squeeze a little bit more life out of the card.

El_Capitan Posted April 2, 2012 Posted April 2, 2012 I didn't see the 1680x1050 part. Go with the GTX 560 Ti, no need for anything stronger. They overclock great and have lower temps. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paradax Posted April 2, 2012 Posted April 2, 2012 I hadnt mentioned the 1680x1050 part before now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rofltroll Posted April 3, 2012 Posted April 3, 2012 On 1680x1050 you can max out anything on a 560 Ti except for maybe Metro 2033. And about the 4 years from now here's how I see it. Currently most games are made with the intention to be able to run on an XBox 360 (I guess you could call it a console bottleneck )so until the next one comes out if it runs today well, then it will run well for quite a while. I've had my rig for 2 years now and games kind of have the same system requirements. In the next 4 years however a new XBox is sure to popout and newer more demanding games will be made ... but I'm strying from the subject a bit now.
