Hi guys
I'm looking to get the XFX 9600 GT ( reference specs ). This is very much a budget buy, but still a huge step up from my current 8500 GT.
But, my question is, which of the following two PSU's should I buy? Please not that these two derivatives are the only ones available to me. And yes, I have checked the PSU help thread, but I thought I'll ask just to be sure...so here goes:
1) COOLERMASTER EXTREME POWER 460W or
2) GIGABYTE® ODIN 470W
According to the PSU help thread the gigabyte's quality is a bit suspect tho...
Please give me some good info ( hopefully from personal experience ? )
Note: I live in South Africa, so please no links to newegg
Thanks in advance
