Hey guys, I'm looking for some advice on a psu. I havn't got a clue what make to get I was looking at the corsair stuff but they've sky-rocketed in price. I'll tell you my spec;

Powercolor ATI Radeon HD 4870 1024MB GDDR5

Asus P5Q Pro Intel P45 (Socket 775) PCI-Express DDR2 Motherboard

Intel Q6600 (or Q8200, don't know)

Western Digital Caviar Black 500GB SATA-II 32MB Cache - OEM

OCZ 4GB (2x2GB) PC2-6400C5 Dual Channel Vista Gold Series DDR2

Thermalright Ultra-120A CPU Cooler (Socket AM2/LGA775)

Any advice?

I see what you mean.. How much is your budget..?

tbh, £100 isn't much considering your other components won't work without it. If you are buying high end components, don't skimp on a PSU.

My budget is around £700 for the pc itself just now I supposem, I can wait till I get more cash. Should I just bite the bullet and go with corsair yeah? Thank you guys.

Also I have the antec 300, it's at £635 the total just now. Forgot to say the antec 300 sorry. I know that has went up by around £20 aswell.

That thermaltake one does sound good gurusan but it is £90 here. Or do my research?

I could just wait till january... mm.

Instead of getting before new year? Got the monitor in the back light and have to wait for more money there anyway.

I will also be dipping my feet into the overclocking pool. That's why I got that cpu cooler. Looks decent for keeping the Q6600 nice and chilled.
