Power Supply Help - Big Explosion

Nomisf · 19 Nov 2007 at 11:38

I was working this morning, and as it would happen the power supply in my PC decided to give out in a cloud of smoke. So now im in the market for a new one.

I was wondering, on a fairly tight budget, which power supply would be best for the following spec.

Pentium D930
3gb Ram
Asus P5w DH deluxe
7900GTX
320Gb segate hdd , one optical drive

Any suggestions appreciated.

cheers people

Im using a Huntkey 550w (ocuk value) PSU, Hasen't let me down, and for £41.11 inc of vat its a good cheap solution.

Its running my system no problem (even with cpu + gpu Oc'd, 2 Hdd's, 2 Dvd writers & 4 fans)

This should run that spec fine:

I almost got an electrical burn ...

I was looking at the corsair actually.. anyone using one got any feedback ?

The corsair HX is a good PSU, it's made by Seasonic but Corsair chose to upgrade the spec on some of the internals from what I recall. It's also as close to silent as i've found without going fanless.
