Well, i'm getting my new rig over the next month or two. Getting case and PSU for christmas :-D Brothers FTW!

Specs

Case - Antec 902 Nine Hundred Two Ultimate Gaming Case

Proc - Intel Core 2 Quad Q9450 LGA775 'Yorkfield' 2.66GHz 12MB-cache (1333FSB) (will be overclocked to about 3.6GHz)

Cooler - Noctua NH-U12P CPU Cooler

Memory - OCZ Blade Series 4GB (2x2GB) DDR2 PC2-9200C5 Low Voltage Dual Channel x2

GPU - Waiting probably for the GT300 series to come out before I get the card

Hard drives - Western Digital Caviar Black 500GB SATA-II 32MB Cache x2 in RAID0

Optical - Sony Optiarc AD-7240S 24x DVD±RW SATA Dual Layer ReWriter

mobo - Asus P5Q Deluxe Intel P45 (Socket 775) PCI-Express DDR2 Motherboard

Now, I need a PSU for this, I was going to get the Corsair HX520 because of the triple rail, but they don't sell these anymore. After reading a bit here I think the HX850, but this only has a single rail. Is this going to be a problem for OC'ing or not?

Any advice on the build would be appriciated.

Cheers

here are my ups and downs on both

vx450w

the good-
fully sleeved cables, green matches color scheme :D, only $65! and alot more energy efficient

the bad-
only 6 4pin molex, only 1 pci-e, and not modular

hx620w

the good-
lots of all connectors,MODULAR!,heard lots of super great things about stability and great power output,future proof for a long while

the bad-
really really expensive,not all cables sleeved(but they are black flexible concealable cables)


i plan to start a new build with this as the first purchase, this psu will have to run an xfx gts 250 (maybe 2), a quad core(maybe i7), a velociraptor (1-3), and support high amount of OC'ing.

Time to open this bad boy up and see whats inside :D



















Fan adjustment and well look at this.....adjustments for the 12v rail too. :thumb:





24pin & dual 8in connectors


Also comes with two cables running directly from the PSU
3x Molex/3x Sata




4 PCI-E cables that come directly from the PSU with each cable having a 8 pin & 6 in connector on it....



and if that was not enough PCI-E cables for ya here are two more 6+2 pins in case you decide that the first four cables weren't enough. :D

I removed the GPU - no effect.

Since beginning the thread, I think I've narrowed it down to the PSU. By adding an old PSU, my PC boots and starts properly. When I go back to the old PSU, nothing happens. Is this likely to have messed with my PC in any way?

Is there any way of testing the PSU?
