Hey to any old chums! :)
Looking for some advice on size of PSU to run the system below please..
Motherboard: Intel DX58SO
Graphics card: PNY Geforce 9800 GT (512 mb)
Hard drives: Seagate barracuda XT 2tb, Intel 320 series 40gb ssd
Water cooler: Corsair Hydro H60
CD/DVD drive: Pioneer DVR – S19LBK
Will be getting an i7 960 processor. 12 gb of ram, three sticks of 4gb @ 1600Mhz
I’m asking for a friend that is building a system for producing music so will be using an external mixing unit for sound..
Thanks people!

iirc. there is no point in using 3 sticks of ram intime, two would work better.
(the motherboard states that no more than 1.6 v per stick should be used? And having three stick makes it run in triple channel mode, apparently a lot quicker this way)
That’s what he told me.. I don’t know if the above is correct or not?
Anyone have an idea about the PSU though? :)
who is this guy?
I would say get a corsair TX-650 W v2 if u plan on doing upgrade on the graphics card part.
If you want just to keep with that same card, an cx 500 would do the trick.
Also you were right on the tri channel part. The x58 chipset uses triple channel so it’s supposed that you have 3 ram sticks (or 6).
