Gigabyte GAM61PME-S2 Mobo
Transcend 4GB DDR2 800 Mhz RAM
Samsung 20" LCD
Creative Inspire M4500 4.1

Rest is standard stuff DVD RW/Kybd Mouse/etc

Costed me about 25K on the whole, as I said its a basic setup.

i think this has been discussed before..

what are your views on coolermaster PSUs??i remember this was talked here.

it said that cooler master dont perform as good as corsairs..

some input will be appreciated.

[nightwing]

it said that cooler master dont perform as good as corsairs..

As a whole I would agree with this statement. But the Real Power and Silent Power series of Coolermaster PSUs are among the top performing.Sadly the same cannot be said for the Extreme Power series. They should be avoided.
I have the CM Real Power 450W for the last three years and its running rock solid still.
But in case you are in the market looking for one then better go for the Corsair.

whats the take on the corsair VX series?

[nightwing]

whats the take on the corsair VX series?

They are excellent. Infact the first suggestion I hear from hardware junkies, whenever someone is looking for a PSU,is the VX450. I have yet to hear of a Corsair PSU going kaput. My brother's system has the VX450 and the difference in build quality shows. I would say go for it.
You are getting a HD 4770 or a GTS 250 arent you?

hmm..what i want to ask is..

is coolermaster a bad smps maker or a certain series of smps that CM makes is bad??

what if corsair is not in my cards??then will a cooler master silent pro or real power be equally good??

regarding 4770..hmmm..interesting..frankly in my research its just clearly showing that ATI is giving a complete bang for the buck.Nvidia is not atleast in my budget.and anyways in my budget range both are performing at PAR!

No it isnt a bad SMPS maker. Its just that their budget Extreme Power series isnt as good. The Real Power and Silent Pro are among the top performers.
Here's a good review of the CM Real Power 550W.
