PSU for HTPC?

ebilcake · 12 Dec 2009 at 18:59

Lookinh for new PSU, old hyper PSU just died on me, no supprise really as it's been smelling a bit dodgy for a few weeks now.

Anyway, can anyone recommend a PSU for the following system?

Q9550
Asus P5Q-E
4GB (2x2GB)
HD5770
1x500GB HD (Samsung)
1xBlu Ray Player

Shouldn't need anything too powerful, no plans to use crossfire or anything, 400-500w be enough? modular would be required as space is an issue.

Modular? sorry I just edited the original post, theres not allot of room in the case.

Then again theres not allot of cables really included for that PSU, could be ok, just a bit of hassle trying to find somewhere in my case to put these extra cables.

The Corsair is not modular, this one from BeQuiet is, or OCZ.

I've just made another HTPC and went for the coolermaster silent pro 500. Perfect specs for a HTPC. If you can find one a Corsair HX450 also, they've been discontinued but there are still a few around.

Thanks, spotted a Corsair HD450HX for around £60, not sure about stock though.
