Re: got $250- need PSU and Vid Card

Ok, all websites have opinions about things, just as people have opinions. Plus, if you read to website it says silent PC, most people care too much about a silent PC. Antec and OCZ are the most trusted brands, they are quite expensive, but from firsthand experience here, you don't want a PSU frying on you. Mine fried last sunday, it had a wimpy +12v rating of 15 amps, i got a new one with dual +12v rails, one with 17 amps, and the other with 19 amps. Anyways, don't be a hippocrit and say don't listen to people, let everybody share their opinion.

6600GT and this PSU. Having a good PSU is critical - without a good one, the rest of the system is fubar if a screwup happens.

Yeah that's a great psu, but i would reccomend this one over that one:

It has 70 more watts, and has 2 more amps on the Dual +12v rails. And it has advanced cable management system, you only have to connect cables that are needed, you'll only need one extra cable if you don't have a PCI-e power connector, or an SATA HD.

Well, if your psu fries, i'm gonna say hahaha, just joking. My PSU fried last sunday because the +12v rating was a measly 15 amps, don't skimp on PSU, it's the backbone for your system, you can overclock better with a good PSU.

I just re-read those specs. 19a on the 12v rail is decent, its just not geared for longterm. If you can, grab a higher end PSU, so you dont have to upgrade the PSU so often.

Power supply units are really 1 area you should not be cutting corners on when it comes to saving a few bucks.
