New rig, can old PSU cut it?

Any recommendations? Looking at Corsair CX 400W and VX 450W. I know PSU is not an area you want to skimp on but my wallet really would like to pick the 400W out of those two. Thanks

Can my Antec 450w SmartPower support a GTX295?

Look at the pictures, the marks on the PSU are much more consistent with the scenario of something underneath the PSU burning than the unit itself catching fire.

New rig, can old PSU cut it?

Hi guys, I'm ordering a new system in the next day or so and am just doing final research on the PSU. According to this site when I put in what my new system will be (and a couple of possible upgrades such as extra HDD, more fans) and 20% capacitor aging I am recommended ~344W. I'm just...

Very Quick Question

I'm looking to build a system fairly soon. From a quick google, would I be right in saying AMD/Intel/both will be cutting prices in July? If yes, is there a rumoured date? Thanks :)

8800GTS _ ?

I'm looking to upgrade my X800 XL and it will be to an 8800GTS. My question, is the 640MB version going to be much more useful to me? I'm thinking I wouldn't need the 640MB version because my max res would be 1280*1024 so I'd never use the extra 320MB really. But my other thought is that...

G7 keystroke assignment

I got my G7 mouse this morning and so far I'm very happy with the comfort etc. The one problem I'm having is setting it up for my games. I want to use the thumb button to control the 'free aim' function which in the game is bound by default to V (and is pretty much impossible). The problem...

Super Quick S939 Question

Does it matter which way the clip on the HSF is facing? ie It could be pointing up to the PSU or down to the GPU. Thanks

My current motherboard has a fault and needs replacing so I need to put the components away for a couple of days. My question is about replacing the thermal interface on the CPU. Guides say to use some isopropyl alcohol (ie propanol) to clean the 2 surfaces. I have a bottle of methylated...
