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?

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.

also versus the graphics card uses up 680 Watts of the 750 watt power supply you had listed (04-09-2013, 11:24 PM)Dr. Zaius link Wrote:well i'm not really understanding how it's faster internet. and like google just magically rolls outs this stuff and it's 100 times faster than my internet? why? that doesn't set off any alarms to anyone?

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. |
