View Full Version : Which power supply? 1st build
Im about to start building a pc and just need help making a decision on the PSU.
This will be the spec of the comp:
Q6600 @2.4 GHz
9800GTX
Corsair 2GB PC2-6400 C4 XMS2 (2x1GB)
500GB Samsung Spinpoint SATA2 16MB
Asus X38 MOBO
I have had the Hiper 880W PSU recommended but would just like some second opinions.
Cheers,
Flare
good unit but at least in light of hearing a lot of them going pop lately, I'd recommend something else.
Corsair HX and TX Range
Seasonic S12 and M12
Tagan BZ range

one more vote for tagan ! my tagan died 2 weeks before the end of the 3 year warranty shiny new replacement arrived within 10 days :)
You know I love my OCZ,
My 520ModStream is powering 2 HDD's, 1 Raptor HDD, 9 fans, SLI graphics card, X2 Athlon, DVDRW, OCZ memory, silent and reliable.
If you want a lot of wattage i'd go for

OR

Any of the above but personally i wouldn't go below 600watt or Silverstone 700 / 850 watt, rock solid.
