Hey All, Me Again

[ShadowPaktu]

General question, referring back to my original post some months back:

 

http://forums.overclockersclub.com/New_Job...ine-t58718.html

 

I have now got (with me) my new case, athlon x2 4400+, 2x7800gt's oc'ed.

 

And the motherboard is a DFI lanparty: http://us.dfi.com.tw/Product/xx_product_sp...TYPE=LP&SITE=US

 

My next shopping list to complete my essentials are 2gb corsair ram, 3-4 HDD's and a PSU.

 

As to which PSU i leave in your hands. Been a while since i bothered to read SLI power requirements, or more importantly, the ATX (E)? power connecter has changed.

 

What psu type should i be looking for to make sure itl'l fit my new mobo?

 

As a side note, my current pc just went gooey on me when i got in from work (\windows\system32\config\system is missing or corrup, run repari console...)

I don't know if i should go through the lengthy restore process in the knowlege base, or just do an over the top isntallation of XP Home, what do you think?

 

Thanks in advance, cookie's and champagne for everyone!

Defintily run a repair from the Disc.

 

For the power supply, here are a few choices.

Going from most expensive to least expensive.

Out of those I'd only go for the first one.

Ste has some really good suggestions for the PSU. I just wanted to add that Newegg has really terrible prices on PSUs, I have seen both the OCZ and the Enermax $40 cheaper or so on other sites. I would also add the 520W OCZ PSU as a suggestion as OCZ finally changed this one over to ATX 2.0 as well. And it can be had for $119 or so if you shop around.

This is very true, Im sure you can order them off the manufactures site for much cheaper, I just use newegg to link the product, IMO newegg usally has everything someone would want and has very easy search options: this does not mean they have to buy it off there.
