Um, neither powersupply is very good for the price you're paying. Seriously, you don't need 600 watts for SLi. 500 should be enough, anyways, i suggest you get one with dual +12v rails, and gt from a brand name, like Antec, OCZ, etc. I got a antec Smartpower 2.0 500 watt powersupply for 70 bucks on newegg.com, it has higher +12v amp ratings than the first link you provided, because it has dual +12v rails.

Don't trust anything that only states "Peak" or "MAX" numbers. They're meaningless. Continuous power is what you should be concerned with. Search around and be patient.

Um, if you get dual+12v rails, it gives the CPU one rail, and the rest another, so it seperates it out. it doesn't matter if they say SLi ready very much, and if you get one with dual +12v rails, get ones totalling at least 30 amps, like 15 amps on one, and 15 on the other. Here's some from a nice brand name:

http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.asp?Manufactory=1516&PropertyCodeValue=0&PropertyCodeValue=0&PropertyCodeValue=0&PropertyCodeValue=0&PropertyCodeValue=2301%3A13789&description=&MinPrice=&MaxPrice=&SubCategory=58&Submit=Property

Go for at least 450 watts though.

EDIT: THe one you have on that link should be adeauate, look at the reviews to see if it's good.

It looks like you may have a tight budget. I use this one and it works great for me, but it's a bit pricey. A good PSU will cost you a bit. If I get some motivation I'll do some searching for you if you give me a price range. Like I said, watch out for psu's that don't state continuous amperage.

Yeah, i've used my stock PSU for about 1 and a half months, it died on me. THe day before it died, it smelled like an odd burning smell, the day it died it made the whole lobby and hall smell bad. Then it suddenly turned off on me while i got a drink downstairs. It died on me yestarday if you would like to know. Here's the one i got: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16817103937
It's a nice powersupply IMO, it has 36amps total on both +12v rails. I can't wait till it gets here, it's almost shipping out from the warehouse in New Jersey, it should come tomorrow, or the day after tommorow. Oh yeah, Bad PSUs can lead to CTDs and freezing in the middle of a high graphics game like BF2, so don['t skimp on Powesupplies.

EDIT: oh yeah, the generic 450 watt power supply that came with the case was rated at a measly 15 amps on a single +12v rail. That sucked, that's probably why it fried on me.

Re: SLI ready PSU?

The one that Eddy01741 linked is a very good option. It'll definitely provide you with ample power. Eddy powersupplies work on that magic smoke. Once the magic smoke escapes they don't work anymore. I hate the smell of magic smoke.
