AMD phenom 2 940 is much faster than E8400 also in Overclocking

Palit GTX 260 is 11.3k

ya, EA 650 @ 4.8k is a real gr8 deal. EA too is seasonic OEM[like VX], and EA 650 is SLi certified, though it looks like a cheap PSU. It 80% efficient, and overloads great with active PFC.

OCing to 4.25 Ghz is gr8, but even @ 4.25Ghz, E8400 cant match an X3 720@ 3.8Ghz.
Even at stock, 2.8Ghz 720 is much faster than E8400@ 3Ghz.
And X3 720[7.2k] is cheaper than E8400[8.5k]
Also LGA775 ll be obselete soon, as intel is jumping over platforms every now and then. There already is 2 new CPU sockets out. But AM2+/Am3 platforms gonna stay for a while or atleast is backward compatible for upcoming 2~3 gens.

except the EA380, the other Antecs are now made by Delta. jonnyGURU lately tested these Delta units and said they are even better than the old Seasonic ones. So the price may change, I dunno whether Lynx updates their site frequently, or r they still selling the old stock...

@ dOm1naTOr If he wants to play GTA IV @ max, then CF isnt gonna help as AMD have disabled CF for GTA IV. I read this in some review. The game is said to be heavily processor dependent! Why doesnt anybody suggest the HX-520??? Its modular... no cable clutter... Its both CF and SLI certified and its GREAT! I dunno how much it costs, though! Wont be too expensive i suppose...

HX520 is medium level PSU its not expensive , But all the Vrails have only 480 watts shared no problem up to GTX260 + 65nm proccy

The Higher Level of GPU need HX 620 ,, HX 620 is nice PSU ever

^^^ Is it better than VX450W? If yes, then its a great option, depending upon the pricing!!!
