Which PSU

Rurouni Strife · Mar 8, 2008

Ok usually i'm pretty good about what PC components to buy, but since i now need a PSU (which finally convinced me to get an external backup hd) i'd like some feed back on which one i should get. These are what i've narrowed it down to. These should be fine if I added another hard drive to my system too right?

If you have other suggestions i'm open to them, but please try to keep it under 100 bucks. Students aren't loaded (least i'm not!).

haha thanks. i'm pretty sure i've learned my PSU lesson now. little late but whatever right? should have put as much research into PSU's back when i built my PC as I did everything else.

psu's are one of the THE most vital parts of your system.. a bad psu can take down your system when it dies.. and its important to make sure you have a good one built by a top notch oem so that you can be ensured reliability, efficency, and a great amount of power!
