New power supply...

[KillerStickMan]

Well the fan is going out on my $15 sunbeam power supply, so i figure since i'm going to upgrade my graphics card soon i might as well upgrade my power supply now instead of when i do that. So I need so suggestions for a new power supply, my specs are <-- that way <-- and i'm looking to upgrade to a ATI 4850 when i upgrade my GPU. So any suggestions are helpful...

^Are these any good?


Anyway i would suggest a good 650watt, Corsair HX 650 is what I use in my media center but it used to run my GTX setup easily..

Re: New power supply...

Does anyone know if BFG makes decent PSUs? Cause this is looking like a good buy.

Only 32a combined on the 12v rails? My Corsair 450w has 33a. Though Corsair PSUs cost more similar amounts of wattage, the amps tend to be better and are very quiet.

$80, but well worth it imo.

PC Power & Cooling and Antec are good too.

500w for the same price, but more 12V amps.

Don't know about that BFG PSU, but my BFG 650w is horribly loud, and it has a turbo fan button, which is useless since is so loud all the time anyways.

I always get more than I need because you will update.. I'm currently running a Antec Quattro 1000watt.. But it's great quality and I won't have to update for ages..

Try 80 amps?



Correct me if I'm wrong there though...

Re: New power supply...

For PSUs, the advice is almost always to get a Corsair. :)

It has 4 rails? I thought it only had 2. >_> But the specs on Newegg say 16x4 rails.

I don't see anything horribly wrong with this PSu then.

Corair. For sure. Best quality PSU's on the market (except PC P&C!)
