The PSU is supposed to be pretty decent and does have a lifetime warranty I believe but it is still at the cheaper end of the market. What else is it going to be running?

Got one for a family PC last month. Happily powers an A64 3200+, 4xDDR sticks, a PCI-E 6800GT, 2 DVD drives and 5, yes 5 hard drives

Cant see it having any problems with an 8800 series card. It has dual PCI-E power plugs so id imagine it would be fine for a GTX also.

Id highly recommend it

Explain.

stinka · 27 Mar 2008 at 19:03

in recent times hiper's have been blowing up by the dozen there prolly fine now but i'd never even have one on my mind

Devil_Spawn · 27 Mar 2008 at 19:06

blowing up aside, the hiper does have active pfc, the usefulness of this, i have no idea

CliffyBiro · 27 Mar 2008 at 19:08

So, is there a 500w+ PSU you can suggest for less than £50?

if you get the huntkey one, the 550W is only £2 more

CliffyBiro · 27 Mar 2008 at 19:15

Would 500w be enough for:

8800gt
E6600
Samsung 250gb HDD
DVD RW
2GB OCZ Reaper HPC
Tuniq Tower
3 120mm Case Fans
