So this summer I'm hoping for a new build with a Q9300 or so and one of the new AMD/NVIDIA cards coming out in june. I'm trying to get some deals on other things until then and I was wondering which of these I should go for. I have a Cooler Master 690 case so far. The rest of the rig should be pretty standard.

Here are the nicest options I see right now:


OCZ 600W

BFG 650W

Any comments about them or preferences? Thanks for your input.
 
Corsair is having rebates on both the 620HX ($25 off) and the 650TX ($20 off), as well as other models, until May 30th. The rebates don't quite drop the price down to those levels though.
 
If you're talking about the GTX-280, I would recommend against using an adapter. Nvidia is recommending partners NOT bundle any kind of adapter and BFG is going to be bundling a two 6-pin into one 8-pin on this unit (which means your PSU will need at least THREE 6-pin PCIe connectors to power ONE CARD.)

I don't get it... you're prepared to spend almost $600 on a graphics card but are looking at spending under $100 to power it?

No offense, but that's completely backwards. If you can't afford a better power supply, don't get the graphics card.
 
I'm talking the 260 at max. I'm not really looking for another 600 dollar heater like my 7950GX2. It really all depends on pricing and benchmarks at the time. If the OCZ really won't cut it, I guess I'll wait and buy corsair like everyone else. Hopefully they'll have a good deal at some point.
