New PSU

zithe · Nov 11, 2008

I'm looking for an 'affordable' PSU to run an 8800GTX in my system. I came across this :
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817101021

I know to some it seems like a no-name brand, but I think it looks like something reliable. I haven't had any trouble with my current ePOWER PSU.

What do you guys think? I need to stay around that price. It's a better budget than my last one. ><

Old PSU's going into mom's rig, along with the X1800XT.

epower is not that bad. but with a single 8800gtx you dont need 550W. 450W is plenty if you dont plan future upgrades.

there is this one too: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817151040
that is from a good brand, but reviews arent the best.

if you can spend 10$ more:

but, as i said, epower is not that bad, your choice is good

I kinda hoped on doing SLI with another 8800gtx at some point. I don't think the ePOWER is good enough.

Should've mentioned that. ><

cdnbum88 · Nov 11, 2008

If you SLI you will need I think at least 500-600 minimum.

Speaking of that.

I may be selling my Corsair HX620 to upgrade with my WC purchase.

PM if interested.

What about the OCZ StealthXStream OCZ600SXS 600W ATX12V in the email promotion that ends tomorrow? It's $30 after rebate and promotion code.

Sorry. I can't afford anything over 60ish before rebates after this purchase I'm making. I don't get a lot of hours during the winter.

you'll have to change mobo and cpu too then. you wont benefit from an SLI setup with the stuff you have, exspecially the proc

@cdnbum88, where are you from? if you are from EU i might be interested in your HX620

You could take a look at this two:

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817371001

Antec makes good PSUs, but unfortunately I don't know all the details about this two. They both look better than the 550W ePower though.

Shooter308 · Nov 11, 2008

I had the OCZ GameXStream PSU in my watercooled desktop build and I liked it a lot....Don't scrimp on the power supply though, cause a cheaper brand may not last as long or have the fault protection built into it like the better brands out there.

I would watch the upcomming holiday sales for a nice Corsair or OCZ/PC Power and Cooling 600W. The one cdnbum had would be great for your single 8800. If your adding a second I would look used for a 600-750W for under a $100 US.

This Rosewill 550W is SLI ready and under 60 w/free shipping:

BFG 550W SLI ready for under 60 wo/free shipping:

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817702011

Try to check used first and then hold out for the Black Friday specials!
