A slightly complicated spec me up

[Marvin]

400W will definately be fine for now, even the i7 systems with 5850s only come in at around 350W max (not overclocked), and both the CPU and GPU will use more power than you will. Also, the PSU you have is pretty good, so will be up to spec anyways.

If you are particularly worried about it, wait until OCUK have some of the OCZ PSUs on offer again (or a Corsair, Antec et al), and pick up a 500W+ unit for cheap(ish).

Should be alright unless you decide to go for a monster GPU which won't be needed untill you upgrade your monitor to 30" ; ).

Oh right, I'm only a tad weary due to my friend saying that 30A on a single rail PSU is a bit dodgy, which is why I'm asking for confirmation about the Corsair. If you guys think it will be fine then I'll go for it.

Will be alright unless you decide to go for CF 5850 or 5970 : ).


Or Fermi which will probably require around 1.5 KW but probably at their 2999.99GBP price they will ship them with free 3KW PSUs .

I was thinking of getting the 5850, though the Fermi is out of my price range.

Thanks for the help guys, it seems the spec me up is complete. Time to purchase me thinks!

Cool, let me know how you like it when you get it : ).

Revival.
The ram I selected is out of stock (odd it says 10+ in stock) anyways as I need it pretty quick how are these RAMs in comparison:

It says its designed for Intel Core CPU but should it be fine for my Athlon II X4 build?

Specs wise it's slightly slower, but you likely wouldn't notice until you start applying bumper overclocks
