Did Blizzard just hotfix an ilvl requirement onto Awakened LFR?

What's the state of PvP like today?

Seasonic makes a great product, and I'm sure I would be hard pressed to find a bad unit currently made by them, but there are many other widely used OEMs out there.Originally Posted by haxartus
Find me a bad PSU made by Seasonic.

I'd say it's pretty damn close. I plugged in my system and it's only maybe ~100W less than what it recommends.

I run GTX470 at 500W system. Geforce recommends 550W.
You want to run GTX460 on 550W system. Geforce recommends 450W.

Source 2: Nvidia Geforce official web page.

Drag the Power meter to 450 and browse. The GTX460 should pop at 450W and dissapear at 400W.Your greed, your foolishness has brought you to this end.
