Recently i bought a 580w power supply for my upgraded computer

(amd athlon x2 @ 3.05ghz,
2 x 9600Gt's in SLI,
4Gb Ram 800mhz,
2 x HDD's,
Cathodes,
Fans,
Dvd-Rw,
Etc.)

Anywho, before the upgrade i had a little 400watt but even now my voltage drops below 12 volt when i have everything running, and just to confirm my psu isnt doing the job, the voltage rises from 11.84 (lowest voltage it goes down to) as you disable more fans/cathods/gpu's)

i also did a calculator thingy and it told me i needed 683w of power, can anyone recommend me a psu thats suitable?

im on a budget here and would like a modular psu preferably and have about £60 to spend.

sorry for the tight budget, trying to move out too lol.

Thanks.
 
nice one, modular too! nice work :P

very tempted to get that, best ive seen for the price so far,
its a little out of my budget but i can sell my old psu to make up for it :)
 
indeed, later this year i plan on getting the new six core i7 thats coming out (hopefully) and maybe 3 gpu's (havent decided whether to go with nvidia or ati),
12/16Gb ram,
and an SSD drive of some sort,
Water cooling too.

But thats along way away, looking forward to building it tho :D
 
indeed, not sure whether to keep my current pc or sell it,

ive had it ever since it was a little single core with 32mb internal grahics,

the memories ....
