Which power supply to get?

Homeless · Nov 20, 2008

I think it's about time I dumped the P4 and got something with a decent amount of speed.

New system specs:

Intel Xeon x3220
Crucial 2x1GB 4-4-4-12 pc6400
Gigabyte GA-EP45-UD3P
Xigmatek s1283 w/ bracket
3x Samsung F1 HD322HJ
Antec 900
Radeon 4850?

the only thing I can't decide on is a PSU. Looking for something modular if possible, but can't decide on what to get.

Here's a few to choose from that are really good:

You can get $50 off on this one when you purchase an Antec case with it:

Anyone know anything about the OCZ ModXStream Pro OCZ600MXSP?

goober · Nov 20, 2008

Like i said go with the Corsair, i swear Corsair underrates their psu's because im running everything in my system specs off of a 750watt Corsair with no issues at all.

kyle2020 · Nov 20, 2008

Corsair, Corsair, CORSAIR!!! haha. The HX520 will run the better part of anything, and the HX620 will be a sound investment for the future too.

Homeless · Nov 20, 2008

I have first hand experience with corsair and I know they make great psu's, but I can't find any good deals on it. Right now they're $70 after rebate or so, but I already sent in a rebate for the current promotion, so I don't qualify for another one :[

Except for the quad maybe that stuff will run with a quality 500-600watt supply as well :cool:

i have used a PSU calc and this little 520W (pfft, im guessing its underrated and actually kicking out 600+) will be able to run everything in my specs, plus my quad clocked @ 3.8.

Not bad eh?

Thrackan · Nov 20, 2008

My specs run overclocked on a 500w Coolermaster PSU

X-Fire 2900's take a max of 300 watts each. --->2900's :nutkick:

<--- electric bill

Corsair HX620 is my vote.

May be selling mine if interested :cool:

DaMulta · Nov 20, 2008

I with this was still 30usd......

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817256032

But even for 50 it's a very good psu for the money.
