New computer

[kandrathe]

A good quality 550W PSU should be able to handle a 2500k + one of the 375W GPU monsters like a HD6690 or GTX590. Yes, that would essentially be maxing it out, but really who considers graphics cards that cost more than my whole computer? You think Jarulf would consider something like that?

If someone gives me a GTX590, with OC headroom I'll use it. He's got nicer friends than I do, so who knows!

Some headroom is good, but there's a point at which it's just so much headroom that you'll never get there. 910W fits into that category, I think.

If I can get a deal on a bigger one then I'd go with it, or if the price difference were around $30, I'd go with the bigger one. But, I tend to want to do things that other people don't do, such as running 3 or 4 LCD displays simultaneously. For my work, I always requires at least 2 LCD displays, which may or may not require 2 video cards depending on card features.

I really despise being constrained by upgrades, and I attempt to recycle parts from prior builds. I tend to drive my components until they fail.
