opty 165 duel core @ 2.6
2 gig ddr400 @ stock
pny 8800gt @ 700 core and 1900 mem
120gig hdd

i have found these 2 on an online auction site and was wondering wich would be best for my computer.

or

both are same price so just need to know wich 1 is going to be the better out of the pair. cheers
 
The second one reckons that it has more capacity on the 12v line however given the prices are almost exactly the same and they are both made by Winpower I'd be highly surprised if they performed any differently from each other.

£25 including delivery isn't really enough for a quality PSU normally and it definitely isn't enough for a quality 750w, however if that is the budget you have then toss a coin and pick on that basis. They are probably the same PSU anyway with one being mislabelled. :)
 
iv'e chosen the one with the bigger ampage on the 12v rail to be sure. i didnt really want to spend loads on a psu so opted for a cheapish one that has the specs i need. hopefully it wont let me down.
 
Er, might I remind you that those links are in violation of the forum rules and regulations.

OT, the pair of them look abysmally cheap. Expect to recieve components as such.

Fixed.
 
Hello maffa_82, I would very highly suggest purchasing a much better quality power supply since a unit that is stated to be able to supply 750 watts and is only £15 is asking for trouble. :)
