O.k. New Case Part 2

[Maceox]

O.K. nobody seems to like my case and Ps pick, so here are my new coponents what is the min power I should have. And suggest a case. I do not mind large cases.

 

EVGA 132-CK-NF78-A1 LGA 775 NVIDIA nForce 780i SLI ATX Intel Motherboard $249

 

CORSAIR XMS2 4GB(2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory $124

 

 

SAMSUNG Black 20X DVD+R 8X DVD+RW 12X DVD+R DL 20X DVD-R 6X DVD-RW 12X DVD-RAM 16X DVD-ROM 48X CD-R 32X CD-RW 48X CD-ROM 2MB Cache SATA 20X DVD

From what I was able to gather, it wasn't that people didn't like the case as much as didn't like the combo. I love my Stacker 830, but you could probably get by with a less beefy power supply. I'm not sure on the min wattage as far as the multiple video cards go.

Thanks cheese

I'd pick up a PC Power and Cooling Silencer 750W

Couple things.

 

You can get a brand new Q6600 at your local Microcenter for $199.99

 

and unless you want to run the 45 nm Quad's when they come out (like late march ) or Triple SLI

then you really don't need a 780i motherboard. A 680i can be had for much cheaper and they works just as good.

 

case wise: The stacker's are supposed to be nice cases but I really like the Antec P180 or Antec 900, both are amazing cases and have lots of room.

 

Power wise:

I have 2: 8800GT in SLI, 4 HDD's, Cathodes, Water pump, and the basics on a OCZ 780W and I have way more than enough power.

So I suggest

OCZ GameXStream OCZ700GXSSLI ATX12V 700W Power Supply 100 $99 After MIR

There is a 600 W version of that PSU but it's currently more money than the one listed above, so comman sense says get better PSU for cheaper

Another thing, maybe you shouldn't have made 15 threads asking a different question each. One thread with all the questions in the system builds forum would suffice next time

I did do a system build question in the system build forum. I also asked about individual parts in the individual forums. I listed all my specs so I could get advice on Power Supply. Sorry it annoys you. I am new at building computers and thought I should seek out as much help as possible.
