Hi all new member here~

[yoops]

Hey jonnyguru posters . I was recommended this site by another poster from a different forum when I asked what PSU I should get for my new system I am trying to put together. I have no idea how to find the "A"'s on +12v rails and how much wattage my system will consume. He said if I posted my specs you guys could help me... well here we go and nice to meet all of you!

Are you planning on SLI

[yoops]

yeah oops forgot to add that, ill be planning to go sli in the future but not currently..

I'm sure you want modular,I would say the Corsair HX620, or if you want more juice and don't mind non-modular, ST75ZF or ST85ZF, would allow more
options in your future

Welcome to GURUland

You might have to do some modding to get either one of those Silverstones in that case, but the Corsair will be fine

thx for the welcome

honestly i really have no idea what modular means.. im a completely helpless when it comes to psu's >< the thing is i dont even know how much my computer would consume in wattage...

[CAD4466HK]

Modular

[CAD4466HK]

Non-modular

[CAD4466HK]

With modular, you only use the cables that you need, with non-modular, you have to become handy with zipties and hideing cables behind your motherboard, because your stuck with having all of them in your case, longer cables mean more to hide, but with your case, you should have plenty of room

lol those look scarey CAD but i see the difference now thx

for the Corsair HX620 would the 620W be sufficient for my setup?

[CAD4466HK]

IMAO I would think you would be fine with that setup, as long as you don't start adding more fans, drives, lights, cigarette lighters,USB probes,alarm systems, fan controllers, but then again, I've seen more, run on less
