Anything but Antec or Lian Li and we are cool.

is this PSU any good?

CORSAIR 520 Watts

Here

It is PHP400 cheaper than the Odin Pro 550W, but will it be able to run the following rig without any lag spikes?

Intel E7300 (Expect some heavy Overclocking)
Gigabyte 3D Rocket II
Inno3D 8800GT iChill edition (expect some light overclocking)
CORSAIR Dominator 2X1Gb 1066Mhz (Don't expect overclocking)
Western Digital 320Gb 7,200 RPM HDD

Frank..

when asking advice on this forum.. you cant call the topic 'dead' when no one posts a reply within an hr of you!! give it sometime ok? usually the rule is 24 hrs before you bump a thread.. so if you want solid advice, you may have to be patient.. after all there are 1,000s of members and threads on here! also, remember the time difference! as I write this its 7:45 am eastern time!

anyway, about the rig... trust the members on this forum, they know what they're talking about..

good luck!

Thanks for reminding me. I guess this thread has served it's purpose anyways, I found out what PSU I should get, and that I should not get an expensive keyboard, and other stuff.....

Thanks!
