Hi,
Was curious on people's thoughts on this system. I just had two questions - is there are a noticeable difference between the I3570 and the I3470? What I have read suggests that there isn't too much of a difference. The other issue relates to the power supply: is there any need for me to get a 650W supply? PCS said that it was overkill and that I should go for the 450W. Advice on optimisation or tweaks is welcome.
