power supply help

[todlo2]

Hello,
I am currently in the process of building a new gaming PC and I am a little unsure of what kind of power supply to buy. I am currently considering this one...

I was wondering if anyone had any other recommendations. Thanks.

I didn't know BFG even made power supplies, seems like every company is making power supplies these days.

The P/S you listed is 550w and Newegg has a 550w Fortron for a little more than what I've given a link to, personally I'd spend my money on a proven performer, this is a 530w <A HREF="http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16817104968" target="_new"> Fortron </A> manufactured P/S $18.00 cheaper and probably twice the quality.

Now unless you are absolutely positive you need 550w the 530w should be more than adequate for you.


<A HREF="http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16817104954" target="_new"> 450w $49.00 </A>



<A HREF="http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16817103437" target="_new"> Enermax 550w $123.50 if money is no object </A>

Antec, Emerex, pc power & cooling.
Whats the rest of the system specs?
Dont just look at the MAX power rating. You need to know what wattage it can put out all the time. It could be 550 watts max but only run at 300 watts normal.

the best thing at his price range would be a ocz powerstream 520w... but other than that, i'll take the PCPC
