Thanks in advance for your help. You guys have always been great with advice. My question is, what wattage power supply would you recommend for this new Rig I plan on building. This is my second computer that I am planning to build, but I can't determine what type of power supply would be adequate. Also, who is a reliable manufacturer? Is "BFG Tech" a good brand?

Val, Is Sli a possibility in the future? If no then a Corsair Vx450 would be a solid choice. In regard to BFG, Overall very good brand, Oklahoma Wolf would be better suited to answer particulars, However I believe the LS and ES series are the ones you want to consider. Also as far as the 88gt Akimbo model, Did you get the Newegg promo E-mail? They have a good deal right now $134.99 with Promo code EMCAKBBAE, Add in $30 MIR and net $104.

so a 450w would be enough power for it? I was thinking 750w at the least.

The Vx450 will handle a Quad and a single 88gt with ease.

That's it, However as Wondering Soul referenced you can get a better deal from Buy.com with free shipping.


Also here is a good write up on it.
