Question power supply???
I am thinking of getting Corsair HX850W power supply, it is 24 dba, anyone know how it compares noise wise to other power supplies in that range?

Currently i have Antec EarthWatts 500w, anyone notice anywhere whats the dba on that?

Unless your case is fan-less, most of the time the power supply from Corsair is not audible. On the other hand, check out this power supply by SeaSonic, it'll be absolutely silent for most of the time.

Are you building a new system? That's a little overkill for the system that you have listed right now...
