These Two PSUs are on really good sales, I'm not sure which I should go for.

Go for the Corsair one.

That's really hot? My GPU idles at about that temp.

I have a semi-low-end card, GT 220, but the cooler is so badass that it idles at 29°C with 2 monitors, while at the same time performing better than my 9500 GT. My CPU typically idles at 33°C, while my motherboard is around 35°C. My board gets hotter than my processor, I know, but the thermal paste has been needing replacement and I'm contemplating getting a new heatsink for it at the same time.

It's somewhat overpriced, but I guess it's worth it.

Just incase you guys ever need it.

[Treynolds416]

1) why would anyone still be using vista
2) why would they try deleting the recycle bin

Look for other deals. I'm assuming you don't want a pure gaming computer but getting a brand new computer with those graphics isn't a good idea. However I don't think you can find anything better than an i5 around that price.

what are you using the computer for?

since i don't have a single clue on the battery life of the hp envy: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834215662 might as well be better for the price.

Ordered computer a week ago, delivery time was meant to be 4 days, scared.

1. because i dont like 7, and can't get XP.
8 is the worst so far IMHO.
2. you can do it easily by mistake.

I would never do that, ever.

Also while we're posting links to useful things, these videos are pretty useful;

i'd be using the HP ENVY for school and games
not only that it's better than the POS mac i have
like
twice as good
mac has a 2.1ghz core 2 duo
this has a 2.5ghz i5
it has 6gb of DDR3 RAM compared to 4gb DDR2 on my mac
envy has a 1tb HDD
mac has 150gb
so yeah
envy's better than my mac

also
the acer is too big :u

Games? That thing can't run Blockland very well at all. You'd be lucky if you got to run lowest shadows with 30 fps.
