Need Help choosing a PSU

VB6 · 12 Jan 2007 at 08:34

Hi guys,

I'm resurrecting an old system (from the loft)

and i'm not sure what PSU to get.

It is a P4 2.8Ghz Prescot with a 6600GT (AGP), a CDRW and a DVD ROM with a seperate sound card.

Any suggestions for a cheap as possible solution?

I was looking at the 400W Antec?

Cheers guys.

Hi,

Just had a quick check here - http://www.extreme.outervision.com/PSUEngine

Brings up around 450W for me, perhaps you should aim a little higher than 450W to cover the W (480). What PSU did you originally have to power this system? I would recommend an Antec Truepower or an Enermax!

How much are you willing to spend??

That sort of thing would be fine with 400w, I'm running a more demanding system on a 400w X-Pro e.g. A64 3400, 6800gt and 3 hard drives currently plus the separate soundcard and optical drive.

Ok. Also...

Those online wattage tests are 99% crap tbh.

400W FSP will be more than fine.

Thanks a lot guys.

I had a Tagan, until it blew up. I swapped rigs then and upgraded to an Enermax at the same time.

I'm just being a tight wad and wanted to know the least I could spend.

:rolleyes:
