So, what do you think of this rig? I´ll be doing quite some playing on it aswell.

Looks good

I personally perfer this ram over the Adata it also works great in my DS3L

Also the Amps on the +12v are only about 27amps and i think the 8800gt requires at least 24-26a so your kind of boarder line. I would look at the ps below.


Corsair 550

Are you sure that 450W is not enough?

Well then the alternatives are as follows:
Fortron Blue Storm II 500W ATX12V v2.2
or
CHIEFTEC PSU ATX/ EPS 550W PFC 12CM 27DB GPS-550AB-A

I would assume one of those would be enough. What do you say?

Dont look at the watts look at the Amps that is more important. The more amps it is pushing out the more efficient the power supply is. Im currently running a 650w continuous/ 750 max power 80plus cert power supply and its probably a little overboard for my system.

Well they say that the 26a thing is pute bs and a Fortron SAGA 450W ATX12V v2.2 will be enought. They say that they have tried the 8800gt with a 5 year old 410W Chieftec and even overclocked with it and it still worked fine.

I have an 8800GS which is a lower end card compared to the 8800GT. My 8800GS states right on the box 26Amps on +12volt. My ps is pushing almost or up to 40Amps. I would personally recomend going with the corsair that i listed but its up to you.

Lucky, you must understand that I am limited to only certain amount of products. Yours is not among them.

I think I´m going with the Fortron Blue Storm II 500W ATX12V v2.2, unless you have any objections?

You can go with what ever you want im just recomending the corsair. If you want to go with that one its your money

Ok, but I´m just aking if the Fortron Blue Storm II is decent or maybe the Chieftec 550W GPS-550AB-A ?
