Hey guys, building a new computer, I have pretty much everything down EXCEPT for one thing; I need a reliable power supply.
http://pcpartpicker....pply-cmpsu750hx
That's what I was looking at, it's right wattage and about the right price.
Is that a good power supply or should I choose something else?
Thanks in advance.
[EDIT] I'm not sure if this helps, but I'll probably end up installing some Cathode Tubes and LED's and stuff like that.
[EDIT #2]: Here's the build, if anyone would like to take a look. (unfinished, still looking for a good case and PSU, have yet to add in water loop and extras like fans, LED's, Cathodes, Front Panel stuff, etc) http://pcpartpicker.com/p/rTln
What are you going to power with it? 600W is enough unless you have/are going to add multiple graphics cards.
Well, it's the standard 3570k + 7970 build, but I like making my computers look good and cool decently, so I'm doing a custom water cooling loop, adding a bunch of front panel stuff, and I'll end up putting in some Cathode Tubes and LED fans and stuff.
[EDIT] Build link is in the OP, unfinished due to some customization stuff.

It is a good power supply, if you are only going to have one GPU you could go down to the 650. Unless you want the overhead to upgrade.
I think that overhead will be filled by the Cathodes and stuff.
If I need a better power supply because of the extras I will be adding, let me know.
I would go ahead and just get the 750 if you plan on adding a bunch of stuff in. I am not sure how much power Cathodes take up, so I couldn't tell you, but I can tell you when you add a bunch of stuff in it adds up fast.
Any reason for 24 gigs of RAM? Shouldn't be doing that anywho. If you know you absolutely NEED more than 16 gigs, you go to 32 gigs. Triple channel memory is bad. You want either dual or quad.

Whoops, forgot to edit that part out of the build.
I already have a stick of that ram, the stray 8 gig stick is to complement the one I have. (same model and everything)

Build is updated to erase the confusion.
