Which Gfx card?

[Reaper 392]

I have been meaning to get a new PSU as this one is horrid because its non-modular. So i have leads hanging everywhere.

When i took a pic of the setup someone though i had snakes in my case lol

heres a few good quality modular PSU's:

OCZ ModXStream 500W £53.99

Lepa B-Series 750W £72

XFX 650W XXX Edition £81.98

there just arent that many lower power modular PSU's on OcUK for some reason

They are a subsidiary of Enermax, a few of the PSU's (G-series) are actually Enermax PSU's with a different label.

The 5830 for its cost/performance ratio, only a £10 more than you said and it easily looks a better performer than the new 6770 which looks dire to be frank.

PSU,

non-modular - http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=CA-003-XF&groupid=701&catid=123&subcat=1497

modular would be one of the XFX black editions.

They are all made by Seasonic.


The Lepa B-series are made by someone called Sirfa.

The 850W passed HardOCP test - http://www.hardocp.com/article/2011/06/20/lepa_b_series_850w_power_supply_review/9

So you could take a punt.

any reason not to go for the 550W one, because it looks like it can deliver all 550W on the 12V line if it wants?

No reason at all, you are just getting more power and connectors for £10 more.

what extra connectors are you getting? (it doesnt say on OcUK)

 

[stulid]

2 more PCI-E (4 in total)
2 more SATA -----------------this could be wrong depending if the 550w version has 6 or 9 sata connectors.
1 more molex

I think thats right.

Then its one listed by Reaper.

The XFX being made by a good OEM

The Lepa being a great price for a 700W modular PSU, but this is a pre-order price with stock arriving on the 30th.

Take a punt, get a leper.
