Dalo Harkin Posted October 12, 2008 Posted October 12, 2008 I would go for a minimum of 500Watt - Corsair or OCZ :D Quote Intel Q6600 @ 4Ghz (Watercooled)Asus P5K premium black pearl4GB OCZ Reaper 8500260GTX Join Free PC Help - Register here Donations are welcome - here PC Build We are all members helping other members.Please return here where you may be able to help someone else.After all, no one knows everything and you may have the answer that someone needs.
Dalo Harkin Posted October 13, 2008 Posted October 13, 2008 No problem - If you want a more accurate figure - then list everything that you are planning to have in the Case - including fans and what peripherals and optical drives you are using and I will do it for you.
