OCUK PSU Question.

[rickmoz]

A friend of mine is building a new system (well i am for her) and i was looking at the OcUK Huntkey 450W PSU. Normally i would recommend a reliably brand like Tagen, corsair ect, but she does not want to spend too much and in the past all OcUK brand products have been of a high standed. I know you should never be cheap with a psu, but if these good it would perfect.

thanks

What other components are you thinking of putting in the system? I would go with the Antec EarthWatts 380W PSU if ~£30 is the budget on the PSU. Its 12v rails are rated as the same as the 450W Ocuk but has lower 5v 3.3v which are becoming less important. The antec is a seasonic build, and very very quiet.

hi mate, the other parts listed below.

Intel Core 2 Duo E2180
GeForce 8500 GT
2gb mem
1 160 hdd sata and dvd writer and a motherboard.

It not a power hunger system just something for the net and dvds, no gaming.
If the Antec 380w has the right amount of juice in it that would be better.
