Question(s) about cases and power supplies
Hello all,
I'm a fairly serious computer enthusiast planning to assemble a new PC from scratch within the next month or two. I have certain cases in mind from the typical brand names (Apevia, Cooler Master, Thermaltake, etc.), and I want to go with an aftermarket power supply (I've learned based on people's reviews to not use the one that is supplied with the case). How will I know for sure that the power supply I choose will have enough of the right types of cables to properly supply electricity to everything on my motherboard and case that needs it (cases nowadays seem to have a lot of extras, like temperature readouts and bright blue LED lights)? Also, I've seen power supplies differentiated as ATX, ATX12V, etc. What exactly is the difference? (I at least know that ATX is the form factor I'm going with.) Any help would be appreciated. Thank you. -- |
