The PC-building/hardware knowledge thread
Reed:
I hate to nitpick, but you should really get a name-brand PSU. something like that might sound good, and have a good price, but will probably deliver pretty irregular power to your parts (which will, in turn, reduce their life-span and the PSU itself could potentially burn out in a fairly spectacular fashion much sooner than a good one).
I would spend the extra $10 on something like this
or this if you can swing the extra cash.
(If you get it from newegg they have a $40 MIR....if you're willing to chance it)

No prob, I haven't done parts shopping in years so I'm a bit out of the loop. I do actually recall the name of PC Power though and it is a slight less voltage, so it seems like a good idea to me. The Corsair is definitely out of the "willing to pay" range unfortunately.
But yeah, seriously, pick away.
Reed:
Well if you get the PC power PSU (It delivers 49A on the +12V rail, which is actually enough to power a GTX295, I think you'll be good with this one for quite a while). I think you have a kick ass system that I am quite jealous of...so unless anyone else has anything to say, my advice is to order away!
dennis:
There's nothing that cures you of cheap power supplies than having one blow up on you while you're using it.

I had that happen once. I was not a happy camper.
