| 634925 | 2008-01-29 01:38:00 | Hi guys, I'm building an Intel quad-core system (Q6600). What do I need power-supply wise? How many watts? Any specific features I need? Tom. |

| 634926 | 2008-01-29 01:46:00 | Ernemax is a good brand. What (if any) graphics card are you planning on putting in the machine? A 530w should be a good size, assuming your not SLIing 8800GTXs or something silly like that. :p | wratterus (105) | ||

| 634928 | 2008-01-29 01:49:00 | That one will do the job well. Good choice. | wratterus (105) | ||
| 634929 | 2008-01-29 05:23:00 | Also consider other devices you are using (e.g Fans, two HDD's, Powerful Graphics, Extra PCI cards). Whatever you choose thought the rule "The more power the better" should be appied. | nzjab06 (101) | ||

| 634931 | 2008-01-29 19:31:00 | You could probably get away with a good quality 400W but I would probably go with a 500W to allow for future upgrades. The one you selected will do the job well. | Mark Gribble (13074) | ||
