Best PSU for under £100

[Korduo]

Hi,
I'm looking to get a new PSU for under £100, I read some reviews and this Corsair TX 750W ATX2.2 SLI Compliant PSU seems good, any other recommendations please?

Would try going for a modular PSU to keep the case nice and tidy. Zalman are a good brand.

The thermaltake toughpower 750w is a very good unit at under £100.00, using one here without any issues, basically its the same psu as the corsair tx750w.

£3.50 over!

£3.50 over!

+1 on that PSU, very high quality. The Corsiar is also very good, and a bit quieter I think.

Boo-urns, ocuk have stopped selling enermax psu's that would be my fanboy(ish) recomendation....

Cosair apparently are the second best

Thermaltake Toughpower 750w is good for under £100 or for a tenner more from OC you could get the Thermaltake Toughpower 850w which is a modular PSU, so that means tidy cables!!

This

I own the 550 version and they are rock solid , it's reputed the 550 will "do" 650, whisper quiet as well. honestly I thought psu's were all over rated until I bought mine.

if I was going to spend 100 quid on a PSU, it would have to be no less than 850W

Zalman ZM600-HP. Fantastic psu's and quite a bit under budget too. More than enough power for the rig in your siggy.

Ty pastymuncher. As I recommended in the first reply on this thread

Zalman would be a brilliant option.

Im looking for a new PSU as my 500w probably wont cope when I upgrade to a quad core.

Havent bought a PSU since 2005, is it me or has the price of branded PSUs really gone up?

 

[Benimaru]

+1 for any of the corsair range very good psus

I recently bought an OCZ StealthXstream one for around 70 inc vat and delivery and am very pleased with it's build quality and 3 year warranty.

Very quiet too.

Everything has gone up. E8400 was £112 inc VAT about 6months ago.

Keep the Enermax 580W.

 

[bigbird76]

You say keep the 580W

Thought i needed a 8 pin molex connector for the new card?? but i think it has some cables supplied with it dont know untill i receive it though. the 580w has 6 pin connector and i am not sure if it produces enough amps unless someone here knows the answer.

Cheers
