Went to Lamington road today to get my rig ...
I guess it will have to wait till wednesday !!

So ....

power supply problem
some shops had psu which i want but some didnt ...

my options . .
Corsair GS600
Coolermaster 600w

only Prime has corsair but not the other parts which i want ...
while pc guide and computer selection dont have corsair but all the other components i want ... they offered me coolermaster 600w....


Now is coolermaster 600w@3.5k nice? [i think they meant cooler master extreme power ]

which model should i go for ...like silent pro ...gx series ..etc ...
please suggest !!

Get Corsair GS600. The best PSU at that price. Nothing beats it. Lot better than Cooler Master PSU's

Also I would say get Asus 24x DVD Writer. It costs almost same.


BTW, are you thinking of OVerclocking? If not then you dont need to buy CPU cooler

ok then going with GS600 .. . . .

and i need the cpu cooler as the original amd heatsink fan makes "vrooooooooom" noise which i hate very much !!
and i will overclock my rig after 1yr ..

ty a lot for your suggestions ...
i gonna buy this whole rig except the psu from PC GUIDE
[anyone says i shouldnt get it from PC GUIDE? ]

I gettin psu from primeabgb ..

and then i also gonna assemble it there at the shop
[anyone says its risky ? and i should do it myself ?
risky asnt ppl can change parts and put faulty ones]

I getting the whole rig for around 44k [adding 2 CM Blue led fans to give a little "umph"]

ty a lot !!
