PSU advice :)

NeTTy · 30 Jan 2007 at 10:15

Will be ordering a x1950 pro in a couple of days my current PSU will not be up to the job and so I'm also ordering one up until I read a few threads on here my choice was the hiper 580w typeR seems a lot of people have had problems with explosions with this psu though

So basically can anyone recomend a different PSU that will cope with the new gpu and is in a similar price range from ocuk £58.74 fyi.

Thanks

Corsair HX 520W ATX2.2 Modular SLI Compliant PSU (CMPSU-520HXUK)

The above is just over your price range, but very good

OCZ Modstream 520W is much better for exactly the same price:

I would recommend this - Antec Truepower Trio 550W. I have one myself and a X1950 Pro powers it very nicely. It's closer to your budget than the Corsair but If you really struggling I would go for the OCZ!

Thanks for the fast answers guys my budget is extremly tight (her indoors!) so the ocz one looks to be the one for me.
