PSU bang for buck

manymatt · 30 Jun 2008 at 13:59

Hi everyone.
basically I've just found myself in possesion of 2x 4870's and 8GB of DDR2. That on top of my OC'ed q6600 and watercooling, I don't think my 520w psu is up to it any more. What I was wondering is, does anybody have any suggestions for best bang for buck in terms of power supply... Looking for enough to power my machine at reletively good efficiency/noise but i don't have a massive amount of spare cash.

Any ideas? =)

Looks like a pretty sweet rig! May i ask what your full spec and budget is? Im sure most people would recommend a corsair, enermax, ocz etc psu. My advice would be just buy the most powerful good brand psu you can afford.

enermax modu82+/pro82+ 625W OR
the corsair HX620W or
Be Quiet! Dark Power Pro 650W

cors for cheapness.

enermax for silence apparently.

Id go with the ener though

actually all of them are the quietest around. and mroe stable. infact from then just becuase the HX620 is a tenner cheaper, id go for that.

I've just bought a Corsair TX 750W for £70 new off the bay :cool:

Seem like great bang for buck PSU's if you can put up with the lack of modular (doesn't bother me)
