Well with 36A on the combined 12v rails, I think even a 5870 would do. Now with OC'ing the 920 too, I'd be a bit cautious with that too, but should be fine with the GPU upgrade.

Upgrade the video card and possibly get a 2nd HD for your data files. The 2nd HD will be your scratch (working) drive. This will allow for a better photoshop experience, but getting the video card is all that you really need for now.

This is the same experience I've had with the Antec RMA process twice in my life (2 seperate PSU's). This kind of support makes me want to buy more Antec PSU's :)

I think that maybe Antec is changing the PSU design a bit. I've been very happy with the 3 Antec PSU's that I have. 2 of them needed RMA'ing close to the warranty period (even was bought used through ebay) and I was plesantly surprised with the friendly and helpful Antec RMA staff. I think your...

any budget?

Personally here is what I'd be concerned with: * The i7 950 is quite spendy and you can just OC the i7 920 to 3.6-3.8 ghz with some additional cooling, so why spend ~$300 more for something you can do for quite a bit less. You can also use the $300 elsewhere in your build too. * Depending on...

If your not OC'ing than you wouldn't need an aftermarket CPU HSF. Not that the added cooling is a bad thing, but that is $ that you could save or use towards other parts. Personally you don't even need the Corsair 750tx for a single GPU (which is what I'd suggest). Any quality 400-500w PSU will...

Well looks pretty good. What are the things that your going to be doing with this build? If your not gaming, than the 2 x 4870's isn't needed. I'd probably get the 5870 myself and than upgrade in 12-24 months, depending on your tastes. I'm also assuming that your going to OC your CPU, since you...

That is pretty much what I'd consider, especially since your on a tighter budget. An i7 920 is a nice chip to have, especially since you would be getting it for ~$200 at Microcenter!! If your not gaming much on the 4650 than it'll work. Just remember that at 1600 x 1200 resolution you will need...

Okay first off, your selections are not what I'd call a gaming system. The i7 920 is one of the best CPU's you can get right now, especially if you can get it for the ~$200 price at Microcenter (walk-in price). The 4650 GPU is totally wrong for a gaming system. It can help in gaming, but it's...

The Animal is right. The Corsair 400cx is plenty for what you have right now. Even the Antec 430w PSU will do too. It has the same amount of 12v amperage that the Corsair 400cx does. Here are some others: $70 shipped!! 34A on the combined 12v rails!! 2 x 6 PCI-e power connectors! Antec...

With 41A combined on the 12v rails, you shouldn't have ANY problem with your setup that you are talking about. Unless your going really extreme on your OC'ing, you should be fine with the i7 OC'd too. What case do you have this system in?

Generally it isn't too bad of a setup. I have a few questions though: * Did you have a budget for this build? * What parts are you adding to this build? * What resolution are you going to be gaming under? Other thoughts: * The q8200 is a good CPU, but isn't usually the best CPU for...

Where did I say that I did extensive research on the PSU? I stated that I had read 1 review on the PSU. I also stated my points and that my viewpoint was my opinion, so don't make me out to be something that I didn't start off with. I think I clearly stated where I was coming from and was just...

Well my point was thinking about the worse case scenario. Yeah I'm sure if has more available, but their sticker doesn't state that, which throws a flag up in my world. I know what the Antec and the Corsair can do, so I recommend them. Now the 1 review that I did read about the Enhance was...
