Oh my gosh, what a steal.

lol duuude, you're making me feel guilty cause i'm not desiring to built myself one straight-up.

although, with Microcenter selling i7-930's at $199, I did sorta 'threw together' this build:

comments, concerns?

 

Toxin everything looks solid, except I would go with 750W or 800W PSU just to future proof it, so to speak.

 

I have a 550W PSU that I recently bought and I regret it already, my computer has randomly shut off a few times now.

 

Maybe it's that one case fan L.E.D....?

... Unless you're running multiple video cards or more than 4 hard drives your computer is probably only drawing about 300-400 from the wall under absolute maximum load. A 550w corsair, seasonic, or PC P&P will handle that just fine but a "550w" off-brand from antec or worse may be a rebadged 350-400w power supply that's just outright lying about it's specifications.

 

So if you're using a REAL power supply, like you should be, then random shutdown like that probably has far more to do with heat than power.

I have OCZ so it's debatable....lol.

 

And anyways, by now, it's stopped, it was twice randomly, so now, idgaf.

Well there you go, there's your problem right there.

Now I am certainly beginning to think that.

Do people think I'm kidding when I say off-brand power supplies are shite? Do they think Jonnyguru makes those test graphs in MSpaint and pulls the numbers out of his ass instead of actually using a proper electrical testing... thing?

I know I know.... But I had to try it out for myself!!! and its not just the PSU. That worked decent..but the cable are super short which made the whole modular thing useless!!! Their customer support sucks and I RMAed it and they sent me back a lower model of the one I originally sent in..

 

While I was waiting for it I decided to just go ahead and buy the Corsair 650 (non modular unfortunately) but the cable are so long its awesome to play with and works solid! I think

I just started getting BSOD yesterday... havent looked into it yet...

They say Crystal Meth is pretty bad for you, are you gonna try that out for yourself too?
