Kids like you are a dime a dozen. Hopefully it won't take too much longer before you realize you're going to need to stop being such a douche or else you're gonna have zero friends here. Or maybe you'll just leave~

This thread made me lol.

To the person who doesn't believe in PSU, why not take yours out and live without for the rest of your life since it isn't important

BenRK September 17th, 2009 12:17 AM

I'm really surprised people don't read my posts. Yet again, I never said the PSU wasn't important, I said it wasn't the most important part, and made a lengthy argument explaining why I believe the motherboard is the most important part, while saying, many times, that I do intend to get a PSU from a more trusted brand in the future, and even explained why I had to get a cheaper one for my build. I've said many times that I agree that it's important, just not the single most important part of a computer. So, if you want to keep ignoring my posts, that's fine, I'll just keep repeating what I've said till you die of boredom.

apple.SHAMPOO, I want to quote my friend who I've been chatting with and sharing this thread with. He's the same enthusiast I've mentioned many times, and see's both sides of the argument. I can't quote what he said word for word, as that would probably get me banned (and I know how much you want that), so here's a significantly edited version of what he said about you.

He then proceeds to quote a post of yours in disgust.

In short, I highly doubt that attitude is going to win friends just as much as my blunt attitude is, regardless of previous forum history.

So, again, I repeat, shut up, enough about this, lets move on.

No, 600 - 800w is plenty if you have fancy hardware. It may be a good idea to future proof your purchase, but if you're on a budget going as high as 800w is a bit ridiculous unless you're going to have more than two GPUs and CPUs installed.

BenRK, cool story bro.

Oh, the mythical out-side-friend to back you up. Haven't heart THAT one before!

Anyway; wattage is far less important than the ability to maintain stable voltages and the amperage on the rails~

Zet September 17th, 2009 2:21 AM

I gotta ask how is that person friends with you? I'm asking because you yourself are pretentious

Bianca Paragon September 17th, 2009 2:32 AM

Zet is right~

If you want to talk to said friend, you'll have to wait till tomorrow, in the afternoon. PST. When he gets out of school. And gives me his permission to share his MSN, at which point he'll probably cuss you out, so don't say I didn't warn you.

I have friends who have used computers for longer than I have been alive, your said friend knowns jacks apparently.

BenRK September 17th, 2009 2:56 AM

...what?

Look, apparently trying to get you guys to stop on this thread isn't working. So if you wish to complain more about my opinions on motherboard VS. PSU, PM me, as we're significantly off topic.

I've got no problems with the current debate of PSU vs Motherboards

This is clearly devolving into a bunch of personal attacks that both sides are flinging at each other. I was going to report it myself, actually; I have no problems with debate, either, but can we please keep on track instead of derailing this into a "who has more friends" internet battle? :/

Both the motherboard and the PSU are important. However, you really don't want a PSU malfunctioning, as it can screw everything else up. If a mobo malfunctions, it's usually just a severe inconvenience; my brother's mobo malfunctioned about a month ago. He was lucky because a friend of his had a virtually identical mobo to replace it with (didn't even have to reconfigure Windows), but we still had to remove most of the old hardware and swap it in to the new mobo (cool story: I decided to combine the RAM from both motherboards since he had two slots free, so now instead of 2GB, he has 3GB; I was going to set up an SLI with the graphics cards, but he doesn't have a bridge and keeps putting off ordering one).

Does the Gigabyte EX58-UD3R Motherboard use IDE for the Optical Drives? I want to know if I have to buy a new Optical Drive or if I can reuse the one I have now.

BenRK October 1st, 2009 4:26 PM

That seems to be a bit... enthusiast if you will. It's hard to tell, but I think it has it on there.

Oh, and sorry to fuel a dead fire, but I've since replaced my PSU with a better one. A Corsair 650TX. Told you I was going to replace my old one with something better.
