New PSU needed

Dthltr · 10 Mar 2006 at 16:35

Hi there. I've decided to buy a 7800GT to replace my 6200 in my Compaq SR1639UK.

I was hoping that one of you could recommend suitable PSU that would be able to give the 7800 the juice it needs, as the 300watt PSU in at the moment does not look up to the job. I possibly will buy a 2nd 7800 to run in sli.

The specs are:
AMD Athlon 64 Processor 3700+
1GB no brand ram
Creative X-Fi Audio Processor (WDM)
MSI AMETHYST-M mobo
2x 160GB ST3160023AS
DVDrw drive
XFX nVidia 7800 GT

Tagan, Enermax Liberty, Seasonic.

Take your pick.

Another vote here for the Hiper Type R 580w modular psu. I have one and it is powering a pair of BFG 7800GT o/c with no problems at all. Good quiet psu that looks cool too.

Vote for the Seasonic here... I bought one to replace a Enermax Liberty I had to RMA and despite being an Enermax fanboy, I prefer the Seasonic to the Liberty range

Seasonic here, didn't like the reviews of the Hiper.
