Hey guys

I have built the system in my sig... apart from the PSU. i havent got that yet.. because im wondering if it will power the rig that im going to built.

it will be:

2.66 dual core - overclocked to 3.3ghz
Crucial 1GB Dual Channel PC5300 Ram
2 x geforce 7900gs silent edition
Asus P5ND2 Sli Deluxe Mobo
160gb Western Digital HDD
1 80mm LED fan + 2 120mm LED fan.

Im not sure a hyper would be ok for this??? im not sure.. and dont want to waste my money. have looked at a few calulators.. but each one gives me diff. (one was 532w and the other was 650w)

Hiper 580w PSU - PEAK @ 640w (around that)

Its a farly high spec system you have, but not extreme, so that should be fine!

I've got one for my system, works fine! Lots of great reviews from them..

modular the lead you dont use can be taken off... modular there always connected.

with a modular psu, you can take out cables, so you wont need to hide them.
and the hiper type R 580W is a good psu, i wouldnt say great cos it is only a psu. not really that special, does its job
