you need more than 600 watts for the rig you got.

Stay with Legit brands. Corsiar, coolmaster, asus, antec.

Diablotech is on the rise for psus also.



No you don't, I doubt it would use any more than 450w (true not peak)

the 470 is not light on power consumption. I wouldn't risk going that low on a quad core system with a power hungry fermi card, no way. Maxing out a PSU is a terrible idea. 600 seems like the perfect sweet spot.

IOPs over speed is a great choice. Looks like a good rig. I understand the necessity for raid 1 if it's a work PC. If it's that important you should be doing backups to an external to be safe IMO.

RAID is not a backup heh.... If a virus comes along you'll still lose data if the virus wants to. RAID only offers you speed an security against a disk failure.
Also, if you delete a file on RAID1/0/5/10/w/e it's still gone. With backups you can retrieve them, not with RAID (recover tools don't count as often enough it's not possible to recover.

Yes, that's why I said it's good to do both. RAID is good in case of a disk failure, tbh unlikely with SSDs. Backups for non hardware issues.

Any important data I have is on multiple drives and online. If it's really important it shouldn't be inside the same pc.
