hrm... Kinda lazy, MNF is on, and I don't want to get up and go buy a new PSU however my 5850 just arrived arrived...
The question is Can the 430W PSU support it and my i7 920 rig... Also running Corsair H50 water cooling kit and two 640 GB Blu's.
Running an Antec True Power Trio 430w...
My 5850 arrives tomorrow and I fully expect to buy another one in the future... That means I will need 4 x 6 pin PCIE power connectors and also a PSU that can support the loads.
Most reviews say with a Vanilla i7 set up it will pull around 480W under load and an astonishing 180W idle... quite...
Seen a lot of buz about XFX and HIS cards?
Just wondering before I grab a 5850... Maybe some one similar to EVGA in terms of customer support, step up, warranty?

so i was in the Frisco, TX Comp usa today and saw the Olevia (spelling) 32" TV marked down from 999.99 to 549.99.... 1600:1 contrast ratio, i cried and walked away as i just bought a 42" dlp for 1000... Enjoy

999.99 in cart price with tax in my area thats only like $1065 total.
I believe there is one online store that might be able to compete, but having your tv delivered in 24 days vs now is kinda a drag to save $15 i think best buy...
Cheap wow 19.99

I could use some advice on whether to go with a cheap watercooling kit of just stick with a HSF combo.
I want to overclock to fairly high speeds on my new chip, while keeping the sound down. I also do not want to spend over 100$ on CPU cooling.
I was looking for lowcost water cooling kits...
