Why do you want a Corsair? They are good but no reason to limit yourself.

I would also look at an XFX or anything else made by Seasonic

On what? Your vid card? Download MSI Afterburner.

FYI the Fractal Design Arc Midi R2 is $40 off. I know you were looking for a new case.

It depends on which series of theirs you get. Some are made by different manufacturers for Corsair so some are better than others.

Define "locked up." Explain exactly what is happening in detail.


The entire thing freezes. No audio, video is stopped, my keyboard doesn't do anything, and moving my mouse doesn't move the mouse on screen. I have to hold down the power button and turn off the entire computer and restart it when this happens. My computer still sounds like it's working when it freezes, just no response to anything. I've tried to let it sit for a while a few times to see if it would resolve the problem but it would just stay locked up.

Reoccurring problem?

Yes. I thought it could be a flash problem since Binding of Isaac is a flash-intensive game and it's been freezing when I played that, but I had no games up and only a message board and a twitch stream and it did it again. My temps are in the low 30s so it doesn't have anything to do with overheating.

Are you running afterburner? Any overclocking applied to it?

Both of these PSUs would give you piece of mind over that firecracker you have now

No, I'm not overclocking anything. I have a program called SpeedFan that I use and it says all of my temperatures.

I never see Seasonic go on sale really. XFX does go on sale but the biggest discounts seem to be their lower rated PSUs. I am not sure how much their Gold rated PSUs drop price wise.

If you are nervous about your current PSU then I wouldn't wait too long. It could cost you more in the long run vs getting something like the two I linked.

That's a hell of a deal on that case I linked. You said $150 was your price for a PSU and case. You would be right there with what I linked.

Blue, I have to do some Splinter Cell beta stuff from 9-11 but I might hop on BF3 after that.

Had this case. The best case I've ever owned.

IMO, it was worth the $110 I paid for it the day it came out.

Yeah I'm pretty sure it does since it has live video and text chat. I'm using google chrome but I'm pretty sure it locked up one time when I used internet explorer as well.

I wonder if its a flash issue. That seems to be the constant there. Have you done a virus and malware scan?
