Hey guys,
My new video editing rig will consist of:
4790K Most probably clocked at 1.3-1.4v
Maximus VII Hero
32GB Corsair Dominator Platinum 2133Mhz 1.5V
GPU undecided between R9 290 or GTX 770
CPU Cooling undecided between H100i or Noctua DH-15
Questions:
1- I need a minimum of 590W based on the calculator. From the brief search around I'm seeing the Corsair RM1000 and EVGA SuperNOVA 1000G2 the most appealing. Corsair offers 5yrs warranty where EVGA offers 10yrs which is why I'm leaning toward EVGA.
I believe I should be buying 1000w 80+ gold PSU for my setup as the difference in price of electricity between gold and basic is around $30-$35/year is worth the investment (it will only take 4-5 yrs to pay the $130 difference) That's a short time in a PSU's life.
Thoughts?
2- Tower I'm seriously considering on the budget and good reviews is NZXT Phantom 240 does this case have reasonable enough ventilation?
Thanks guys
