 What's a good PSU?I just got a new graphics card that suggests 500w, and I currently have a 300w.
I figure that I might as well upgrade my PSU more than 500w, so in the 600-700w range. Price-wise, preferably no more than 80$, definitely no more than 90$. Any suggestions? Just a quick search on newegg, i found: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a ... 6817139028 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a ... 6817371044 _________________ [n00b] ???

Re: What's a good PSU? If you can get a modular one I would recommend trying for that aswell. Having the ability to only have the cables needed saves so much space in your case if it's small like mine is.

Re: What's a good PSU? Definitely go modular with 600+ watts. also keep in mind peak wattage is not the most important thing, the Amps on the +12V rail (s) is more important

Re: What's a good PSU? Here's the holy grail for PSU's Garrett. http://www.overclock.net/t/183810/faq-recommended-power-supplies Use that list as a reference to buying your PSU, it will be of great help when trying to determine if the PSU's you find online are worth the investment

Here's the Amazon link: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001IZ ... 00_details It has a $30 rebate right now (1/1/12) so it's actually $59. http://www.ocztechnology.com/ocz-500w-7 ... upply.html If you want a much better (more expensive) PSU, look at PC Power & Cooling because those guys (owned by OCZ now) have always seemed to make the best PSUs but they cost about a third more (example: http://www.amazon.com/PC-Power-Cooling- ... 1APWI4F7OL) and I might just return the one I ordered and pick this one up which is actually my first choice. For even more efficiency, this is the top of the line for the same company (92% efficiency, completely modular): http://www.amazon.com/dp/B004NMF9ES _________________  |

Re: What's a good PSU? bought this one yesterday after extensive conversation with hooker and bleep:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a ... 6817139006 With a 5/5 rating after 2,376 votes... I'd say its a very smart purchase. Corsair is apparently the shit. |
