    Graphics and PSU Q's

    Okay hey guys I am going to build a computer here soon was just getting an Idea of what PSU would work with this graphics card http://www.bestbuy.com/site/NVIDIA+-...20ti&cp=1&lp=4

    I can get this for $100 http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Thermalt...watt&cp=1&lp=1

    Also this one for $85 http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Corsair+...3697&cp=1&lp=1

    Now those are two power supply's I was looking at. Is there any cheaper or better ones that would work. I would like to stay in that price range nothing more than 100$ Thanks!

    Okay thanks Fuzzy and is there anything wrong with the Nvidia graphics card? The reason I would also choose the GS is because I dont have to pay for shipping and handling and have to wait. I have no clue what power supply i should go with just trying to get the Bang for the Buck!

    The wait is 100% worth it. The Nvidia card will run louder and hotter. The MSI card is cooler and you can overclock it if you want. I have it, it's great.

    In respects to the power supply, the one I recommended is one of the better ones on the market right now.

    Link doesn't work. =/
    The 560ti is really good because it runs most modern games at the highest settings without costing a ton.

    560 ti all the way. Actually, if you're only playing WoW or SW:TOR, the 550 ti should be sufficient, but if you plan on playing anything else in the next few years, you'll want the 560 ti.

    560ti is much better.
    Also, forget Best Buy or any other "general electronics" stores. You will pay at least 20% more than on the internet (including shipping).

    The GTX560 Ti from bestbuy is not a real 560 Ti , look in the list on the left, its a GTX560 Ti (OEM) , it has fewer cores and its also clocked lower.

    For 300$ you can get a GTX560 Ti 448 Cores , which is the bang for the buck IMO!!

    Review: http://www.hardwarecanucks.com/forum...yte-msi-7.html Since you can clock the GTX560 Ti 448 much higher than a GTX570 its sometime better than its big brother but usually few fps behind.
