    hope my CC company can give me a better deal!!

    Edit: on 6th July i made a transaction and i got £1 = €1.22, so its not that far off the mark at all.

    the euro really has lost ground lately though and im quite over budget.


    seriously though guys, for €637, could i get a better machine?

    The one thing i will say for pixmania, is the x3 445 is only 89 - odd that the 435 is so expensive!

    Its a good rig for the money, GTX460 eats 1080p gaming for breakfast. Surprised you're not going with a Corsair VX550 or something - they might not be modular but they're likely cheaper and have a similar 12V rail (41A vs. 40A - yes, 40A, eBuyer are lying their tits off with that 50A bit! :p)

    the Corsair VX550 on ebuyer is the same price. i could cancel my order because it isnt dispatched yet, so im sure it wouldnt be hard.

    would you go for the Corsair VX550 over the 600W modular for the same money?

    For the same money? No. That Coolermaster may not be a true modern 600W PSU, but its attractive, modular and stable. Even JonnyGuru found little to complain about when reviewing it last year; its one of their Enhance units, not the cheap trashy GX ones :p

    thanks.

    i didnt put much thought into the PSU, seeing as it was modular and got good reviews.

    (yes, i did read atleast 2-3 reviews on everything in the basket!!)


    delivery time is set for monday, which is a bit of a bummer, because i ordered my case and screen a few hours earlier and they arrive on friday. would have been nice as a weekend project.
