I'm using a Corsair TX750 now after my friend suggest to me to future-proof my rig from a cap ayam 460W PSU.

Anyway, after a very long consideration, I had bought the Silverstone Zeus ZM1200 PSU which gives the user an option to switch from single rail to multi rail and vice versa.... A very fine product I must say although it is a bit heavy...... |

Hey guys, planning to setup a system as such :
Intel e8400 4GB DDR2 RAM Asus P5n-D 2x 9800GTX SLi One 7200RPM Hard drive One DVD-RW drive Is thermaltake Toughpower 650W enough? On that matter, which will take more power, 9800GTX+ SLi or 1 GTX280? Thanks. |

Between 9800GTX+ SLi and 1x GTX280, I think both consumes almost the same amount.....Intel e8400 4GB DDR2 RAM Asus P5n-D 2x 9800GTX SLi One 7200RPM Hard drive One DVD-RW drive Is thermaltake Toughpower 650W enough?
