Hello, Im new to this forum so here is what I would like to know your thoughts on which PSU I should get for my rig;
1. Budget & Location
USD$2000 - 2800
Location : Malaysia
2. Aim
Gaming such as BF3 Crysis 3 World of Warcraft SC2 etc. 1 or 2 VMs
3. Monitors
Right now I'm using a Samsung 40" LED TV as my monitor. I might go for Tri monitor setup but it wont be on this year. I plan on using either 23" or 27" monitors later on
4. Peripherals
Just the CPU. I already have a mech keyboard, game pad and mouse.
5. Why are you upgrading?
My current system is still an i3-540 and I think it is time to upgrade my PC plus I want to try out watercooling.
Specs:
Original specs:
Intel Core i5-4670K
Corsair H100i
Gigabyte GA-Z87X-UD3H
GeForce GTX 780
16GB Corsair Vengeance
120GB Samsung 840 Series SSD
1TB Western Digital Caviar Black
but I gave it some thought and changed it to this;
Intel Core i7-4770K
Corsair H100i
Gigabyte Sniper 5
GeForce GTX 780
16GB Corsair Vengeance/Dominator
120GB Samsung 840 Series SSD
1TB Western Digital Caviar Black Hard Drive
AX860i PSU
Color Scheme : Green / Black
Case : Corsair 900D [i already have this]
I can afford to change the AX860i to AX1200i, I know this would be overkill but I also plan to do SLI probably next year when the 780 is a bit cheaper and go for a full watercooled setup. Let me know your thoughts
I also plan to have around 7 HDDs and 2 SSDs later thats why I'm thinking of getting the 1200W one.
