PSU decision

[Adrenaline]

This or this.

One, I would have to wait for a release date, which has been pushed back twice (but has more power on the 12V rails) or go with the one I can get now.

The Silverstone is released in 8 days.

before you go dropping $170 on a PSU, what are the specs of the computer?

EDIT: for that price, you could get a pc power and cooling.

You better post a amazingly awesome computer if you are looking for a 700+ watt power supply

2 7900 GTX
SB X-Fi platinum
2 SATA HDD (may get a 3rd)
2 OD
FDD with memory card reader
Intel 950 CPU (went with due to price)
P5N32-SLI
7 120mm fans or 5 120mm fans with a crossflow fan
Zalman 9500
Nexus 4 fan fan controller
2 GB OCZ RAM
Mouse is a G5 Logitech
KB is a Saitek Black and silver with blue glow.

I cant think of anything else right now. But is is in a Stacker 830 I am building.

And a 4 port hub in the LCD, which i am unsure if the LCD powers it or the pc. Its the gateway 21" widescreen.

why would you build an intel machine for gaming?

Price of the cpu.

I do more than gaming also, alot more. I sometimes have multiple apps up at once. I really didnt feel like going with AMD at the moment as they are coming out with something new.

Plus, around Christmas I may just buy a new chip and motherboard for Conroe and didnt want to get new RAM at that time.

amd pretty much blows intel out of the water, gaming or no gaming.

i'm not here to force you to get an intel; i'm only stating the facts.

Also, my chip selections were:

4000+ ~ $340
4400+ ~ $450
940 ~ $250
950 ~ $340

With the price for the 4000+ being around what I wanted to spend on a chip, the 950 and 4000+ were about the same.

I saved some money for the time being and will most likely upgrade when Conroe comes out. I have also had no problems with Intel chips, ever. Reliability was one thing I looked at. I know AMD makes good chips and fast chips, but I just finally decided to change my mind when i saw Intel slash their chip prices.
