Help/Suggestion for i7 SMPS / Cabinet / UPS

Shadowfax2009 · 29-05-2009, 02:50 AM

Hi all great guys. You all are really helpful. Just reading the threads here have solved many of my confusion.

I am building an i7 rig. I have finalized on the most things.

MB= EVGA X58 SLI from Phoenix

GFX = 4890 Powercolour from TE

Ram = OCZ/ Gskill 6gb 1600 or (If God is merciful) 1800

Cabinet = I wanted to be a little miserly and go for something around the 2K - 3K range. Will Coolermaster Elite suffice.... Suggest plz.

PSU = Dont really know. Need some serious help. Currently I will not be doing SLI. So I need to run only a GTX285 (After a year might give the PSU to the home Media center, I am currently at Delhi). Tagan 800? Coolermaster Extreme power 600 - 700 ? Or do I need A Coolermaster Real power 750 - 850?

SMPS = I am very averse to spending 12000 - 17000 on a pure sine wave APC now. What should I buy? Wont the normal APCs Do. MAx I can spend is 8000/ otherwise I will have to settle for UD3 Motherboard ... Which doesnt make any sense as Mboard will be the only thing of the platform that will not be upgraded in the long run.

Pls suggest some Genuine INDIAN Cheappo Ideas

yes. Cooler Master Elite 330 will do.

a 650VA APC UPS for 3.5k should be enough.

for PSU, Corsair VX650W should be enough.

Corsair prices are on hike. Get Antec 650w from phoenix or glacialpower 600w or about. Both will cost around 4.5k.

Thank you all guys. Another few questions ...

Will EVGA X58 SLI support DDR3 RAM at 1800 speed. I can get 6gb by KMD at 9k.

What about pure sine wave UPS.... How much trouble am I in if I dont go for it?
