Corsair VX550W or Corsair TX650W
which one should i buy in your opinion? the price is same, I just do not know if I need something better than a 550W power supply..

You don't need better, as you run a single server, and you don't connect anything else to your server, so it doesn't need higher electric power than 550W. A processor could work on at the most 130W, a hard disk drive on 15-20W, motherboard controllers on 30-40W, so 550W is more than enough.

and "Corsair CSSD-V32GB2-BRKT 32 GB SATA 2" will this be enough even if u use server logs on? is that ssd better than raid0 hdds? any idea

SSD Disks are too expensive and have low storage capacities (price rises exponentially as capacity increases), for your current budget and configuration, you need both SPACE and SPEED, so with a RAID0 of good performance disks (Caviar Black Series) you can get a real good performance for a low price.

Maybe in 2 years you can buy a SSD Disks of 500GB for the price of actual 2TB Disks. Just look at the $/Gb (dollar per gigabyte) you can even still get a shitload more performance and capacity with a RAID0 of 4 Disks (more disks in RAID increases the transfer speed) for the price of a single 128GB SSD Disk.

If your server goes great then you may later invest in a RAID Controller Card and setup a RAID5 array, that would really kick ass!!! RAID5 provides 3/4 the Speed of a RAID0 but with Recovery Backup as RAID1, so even if a disk goes booom! you dont lose your data, you just need to replace the damaged one and the RAID will be restored with its data.

why will i need more than 32gb space? and wasnt raid0 two hdds in 1 the ssd costs 75 euro and for the future i can get one more for the OS space too? what do you think
how can the database to increase that dramaticaly.. we are talking about 20-30gbs since the srv files cannot be more than 1gb..
i dont think that i will be able to fill 20gb with logs and database.. whats your database+logs size?

p.s. the motherboard says 4x speed on raid0..

didn't you read the links I posted about Raids??
Any raid configuration is a setup where you combine multiple HDDs to increase performance/stability.

i knew that raid means 2++ hdds in one but wasnt sure about it..

But wait,doesn't raid mean higher chances of data corruption in case of some power surge?

read the topic, I wrote about that too...

Good machine,but you can take one more RAM module to improve your machine performance.

[jurchiks]

It's not intel x58 chipset, it supports only dual channel memory. But if you mean another PAIR of RAM modules, then it's cool.

something is wrong with my machine currently i can see graphic vibrations on my monitor its like they goes from under to over its like a wave is that from the parts? or from drivers :@

[jurchiks]

could be from GPU, drivers, cable, or monitor itself. maybe some strong magnetic field nearby that influences your monitor...

[brutus]

but i have lcd monitor

[jurchiks]

that doesn't exclude the other possibilities.

High-current cable near the monitor, or just broken. Check different monitor
