Power Supply Calculator

Honestly, I think it's close enough to serve it's purpose. You should always have some kind of factor-of-safety when picking a PSU anyways because a bad PSU wreaks havoc (and 1 is not an acceptable FOS
)

Bump because I don't want to keep starting new topics
For those that use LCD monitors
First of all, I want something at 1080p
second of all, do you guys ever notice a difference between the 2ms response times and the 5ms response times?
just something I was wondering about and if it's not that big of a deal, I can save some money going with a slower response time.
also, what do you guys use for resolutions?

I think the third line answered your last question
i use 1440x900 tho

bumped up my potential PSU because of that

1080p monitors are a hell of a lot cheaper than TV's. which is why I plan on buying an Acer 24" with an HDMI port on it. look it up on newegg. 250ish dollars maybe less I think.
Also, I use 1440x900 on this monitor. It sucks because it's a 16:10 ratio and some games barely support it/have some in game bugs and issues because of the aspect ratio. Just go with something that is straight up 16:9.
Re: Conceptual Build-A-Rig Thread - zaneyard - 09-04-2009
i'm looking at a 1920 x 1200
also versus the graphics card uses up 680 Watts of the 750 watt power supply you had listed
Re: Conceptual Build-A-Rig Thread - Versus - 09-04-2009
uh no it doesn't
it just recommends a minimum 680W PSU for a computer using that videocard
and the PSU I have in that list now is a 910W one

I had the understanding that most wide PC monitors were 8:5 ratio. Whilst wide screen TVs are 16:9.
1680x1050 and 1920x1200 are also 8:5.
Re: Conceptual Build-A-Rig Thread - zaneyard - 09-04-2009
i have no idea what anything is anymore
all i have a solid understanding of is the standard resolutions for 4:3
