Wich PSU?

[Lollipop]

What video card are you going to be using? If it's just a mid range one then even 500w+ should be enough

No GPU... yet

Entry level? Mid range? High end?

if it is availabe in denmark i would suggest the Fractal Design Core 1000 link

the CM looks like a good case but for only a small ammount more (about £5 in UK) you do get a noticable increase in build quality and an all black interior, im actually considering this for a friends build atm. the CM will be fine but i find Fractal do not make bad cases

sorry for lack of danish link but would take ages

I do like the look of the Fractal, kinda looks like a giant Rad

I looked at it and i think i will stick with the Elite, imo it has more features that i need

I plan on using the iGPU

one more thing make sure you use good ram at high speeds, no less than 1600MHz with as tight of timings as you can get. the better the ram the better the igpu will perform.

450w+ then, but make sure it's a quality unit

you may want to have a look at the smaller seasonic gold fully modular ones. they are of the same make as the corsair ax 750 and 850 (seasonic is OEM for corsair's AX series, except AX1200, which is built by flextronics) but also available as 660 watter and imho reasonably priced compared to the really good quality you'll get.

why are everyone suggesting high wattage psus for a llano build, a llano pc would run at about 250w max load so a 300w+ would be fine not 800w+. a large wattage psu will also have horrible efficiency in a low load so in a pc constantly at low load its a utter waste.

I saw a modular SeaSonic 400w wich is what i will get (400w because it is modular and if i decide to add a GPu at some point in the future)

that psu sounds great, perfect for the build in mind. Have you considered a build log or atleast posting the finished rig in the rig gallery, your main rig is awesome.

I am considering the build log, but ofcourse this is going into my rig thread

Okay so i am torn between this and:

i3-2100

ASUS P8P67 pro

Club 3D 550ti

Will the 400w still be nough for the intel build?

I'd go 450w just to be safe

id go for a 450-500w for the intel build. just to be sure it would work

Might aswell get the AX750 then, i know it is overkill but it costs like 50£ more and it is modular

yes its overkill, but it will give you upgradability and a more tidier rig.

guessing your going for the intel option then.

Leaning towards it but not entirely sure yet
