I wish they would keep that thing up. they have the money to do real testing with specific parts and stuff.
[/quote]Unfortunately that sort of exhaustive testing would eat into their profit margin. It's most likely just drawn from manufacturer spec'd requirements for power draw per component.

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 Wink)

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.

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

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.
