I had a very similar thing, only I threw a 14 story building out of a pool and hit a kid on a paper aeroplane.


The Flood is just this awesome :D

I'm very computer illiterate when it comes to PSUs, so I really need help with this. I'm currently using a 460 watt PSU.

My current specs:

3rd gen i7 3770
AMD Radeon 7770
8 GB DDR3 RAM
1 TB hard drive

I'm looking for a PSU that can run a 670. Thanks for the help.

I'd recommend the SeaSonic S12II 620W or the M12II 620W. The latter is semi-modular which means you only need to connect only the required power cables.

Also the AR is actually good in CQB now and no longer a glorified baseball bat.

Probably not the State College campus. I'd suggest Penn State Behrend or Altoona...

On a more serious note, I'd definitely get something above 600W. Better to have too much and room to expand in the future than too little!

This is the one I use.

It's 850W, is 80+ Bronze Certified, and is fully modular.

May I ask why you decided to get an i7 OP?

More powerful than an i5. Why ask?

Would those PSUs fit in this case?

From what I know, in terms of gaming it isn't very useful for the price hike. However if you're into editing etc then Hyperthreading makes rendering a whole lot faster.
I just wanted to know your thoughts because I don't know too much about the i7s.

The bungie.net community is the halo PC community that is renowned for being unbelieveably sucky.

I bet your 460 watter would run it fine.

I'm just afraid of the PSU frying itself because of all the power it has to put out. I'd rather play it safe by getting a better PSU.
