723453 2008-11-27 23:14:00 Anything over 25-30 is payable, 40+ is like butter.....personally, 22"LCD w\ 16*10 is a good setup without having to break the bank for GPU powerful enough to drive it.....

If it were me, I would go for something like the 9800GT or 88GT, until after xmas, then next year when 55nm GPU come out, get the 260\216 core and use the 88GT for Physics, it really rocks....

723456 2008-11-30 20:48:00 A 500W should do for that.

Go for a bit more though, just to be safe. 620 will give you lots and lots of overhead.

723457 2008-11-30 20:48:00 take the Silverstone :D GameJunkie (72)
723458 2008-11-30 22:33:00 Yeah for the PSU Sol's 650W is a good deal. qazwsxokmijn (102)
723459 2008-12-01 01:58:00 Im just worried that when i upgrade the hardware that, the powersupply isnt going to be big enough. will a 600-700 supply still be suitable in say 1-4 years to come, if i continue to build a bang for buck pc?(this is my first build so im not to sure.)

And i also realized that the p5Q pro board im looking to get only supports crossfire. SolMiester when you where talking about using one 8800GT for physics and using another card does that use SLI, or will it still work some how. Do i need a Sli motherboard instead for this to work?

Thanks

723460 2008-12-01 02:16:00 Silverstone 650W should last you at least 3 years provided you don't upgrade to the likes of a 4870x2. qazwsxokmijn (102)
723461 2008-12-01 02:40:00 Yea i dont think ill ever spend $850 on one card or 2 for that. Do the same category cards of different series use around the same power, for example does a 9800GT use the same power or around about the same as a 8800GT. With each new series is there a massive power increase, if there is then thats why im worried about, not having a large power supply, as the newer series demand more. James281 (13409)
723462 2008-12-01 03:02:00 If you look on nvidia/ati site they will tell you what wattage they require.
650w will be fine for any single card.

just for thoughts I had a single 4850 it ran crysis alright on high settings but not as good as my previous 8800gt, but runs farcry 2 mint on very high 8x AA.
