PSU help required

Xon · 6 Jun 2007 at 20:10

I've been looking at http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=CA-005-CS&tool=3 but I have no idea whether it is going to be enough for the following items and I really would be overstretching the budget to get the 620W unit.. so you guys reckon it would be enough for:

ATi 1950 Pro
Gigabyte DS3
Core2Duo E6320
2gb 4-4-4-12 Geil
4x hard disks SATA
1x DVDrw
Audigy x-fi with front bay
USB kb, mouse & gamepad

thanks!

Always get a powerfull PSU one which will last you for time. I had a tagan 480w now needed to replace this. As i placed in a 8800gts i cannot proplery overclock and system is not as good as it should be in a stable state, a more powerful PSU was needed, stepped up and got the ANTEC 650w TRIO. This will last me a while and on their site they give 5yr warranty. Personally i would gone for the OCZ gameXstream but becos of the cable length i could not in a antec p180 case. TAKE THAT also as important issue.

Id say CORSAIR then Antec, OCZ, and TAGAN.

the 520w shoudl cover you unless you place in lots more things in the pc stick to that.

I'm using an OCZ GameXstream 700W PSU which I really like a lot,however if you stick with any of the good brands you can't go wrong (I won't bother naming them),just stay away from Hiper unless you like to see the theory of the big bang in person
