--- Quote from: Ipquarx on September 01, 2015, 11:57:21 PM ---this is a vast improvement, but considering his build uses less than 400 watts, do you really need a gold certified 750 watt PSU? Go for a 500 watt one like this, save some money: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/ZXTVK8 --- End quote --- you could do a 500 watt one, but buying a gold certified 750 watt psu will and should last you awhile you wouldn't ever have to upgrade. plus it's really a 20 dollar price difference either way, so that's why I just put in that one. |

I've been using a 1.2kw PSU for as long as I remember and whenever I added a GPU, for example, I wouldn't even care about the wattage it consumes. |

I hope you're not talking about driver support or something 'cuz Linux is way ahead of Windows is in terms of drivers, both open source + proprietary. My week-old desktop PC is running Debian 8.1. If you mean game support, you have Steam for Linux and so far I've been able to play games not natively ported over to Linux yet using VMware + Win7 with no problems whatsoever. It's actually a hell of a sweet setup. |
