    The Seasonic M12 is pretty expensive... but i do like the modular design. Let me ask this... my current PSU (400W) on has the 12pin connector. Do i need a PSU with a 4 pin connector as well for Asus P5E Deluxe motherboard? Cuz i would not mind keeping it if it works. Thanks

    Building a new PC 965? 975? 680?

    OK! good suggestion. It works better because i wanted a serial port and the deluxe version has it. So there is no limitation on overclocking voltage on memory in deluxe? I think i am gonna stick with my 400 PSU because i don't care for a big graphic card or SLi because i don't play games...
