    Need help with final selection of: PSU/RAM/GPU

    Awesome! I'll read some reviews and weigh pros/cons. Initially, it looks like the EVO pushes more air, but gets louder. They both have similar temp readings though.

    Need help with final selection of: PSU/RAM/GPU

    Your first post wasn't informative at all, so I crafted a reply that would leave you ample room to elaborate (which would save you from sounding like an ass). Then you post this: And that's with non-discounted prices. But we can't really do anything about that now, since you already bought...

    Need help with final selection of: PSU/RAM/GPU

However, I appreciate the concern. lilhasselhoffer: Awesome post, thank you very much. 1) OK. I will try to find a good deal in the 850W range :) 2) XFX, warranties, good...

    Having tons of trouble

    I have an evga 7900gs, and I just recently replaced my RAM and hard drive in my system, so I had to reinstall windows.
