So in the end the TT is the BEST choice... what about the FORTRON BS2 350W or SAGA 400W... would one of this 2 PSU manage to give the necesary power to his PC ??? Or maybe for 6 bucks more should he buy the TT 470W version instead of the 420W ???

FSP is a good group but forget 350w. I would say $7 more is worth 470w over 420w
