Title: Researching parts for a new rig? Post your fav. links!
Post by: snootch on May 21, 2013, 01:26:22 PM
All, figured i'd share some links to resources I use to get the best deal on hardware. Some may be obvious, but doing the proper research can save you a good amount of money and time. I'll post mine, post links you use to find the best hardware for the lowest price!

That guide can't be true. A 7970 does NOT draw 31A off a 12V rail. It's closer to 20.

Still only has 7950's added to it, but this table will prove to be extremely valuable if people decide to use it.

That link is straight awesome. Has i used it instead of buying everything from Newegg, I would have saved $80. However shipping costs from multiple vendors instead of one may eat up the savings. Thanks!
