Here's my upgrade specs.
evga 780i sli mobo
8800 GTS (640mb)
Q9450 proc
2x raptors
3x sata drives (maybe for if I go RAID)
2x 7200rmp ide drives
2xDDR2 dram
water cooling, I'm thinking of either getting the one of the external kits(koolance exos2) or build my own from dangerden.
I'm looking at the
corsair 620HX, because it's quiet and modular, and lots of people seem to like it.
If I plan to use the PSU for the next 3-4 years, will 620watts be enough? I'll very likely upgrade my GPU in a year or so, maybe to a 280 gtx.
the outervision PSU calculator suggest 537watts (with 15% aging) and 628w if I got a 280GTX.
Should I buy a higher one now, maybe 700watts (any suggestions for a quiet PSU in that wattage?)
OR
get the 620 HX now, and when I upgrade to a new GPU and then upgrade the PSU again (if needed?)
I may overclock it a bit too, but my priority is noise.
