I am liking the Antec SmartPower 2.0 SP-500 500W ($69)for the following reasons:
1) Although I had my mind set on ATI, right now I am leaning towards GeForce, so I want an SLI capable PSU for later expansions.
2) I want to slightly overclock by about 0.2GHz.
3) I picked Antec due to brand name.
Please advise me if those reasons are good enough? This is the cheapest Antec SLI that I found. Is there a cheaper 450W or 400W SLI capable PSU from another good brand?
Also, I am heaving a great deal of trouble picking a case. It seems that getting a case and PSU together is a bad deal. Unless there is one I overlooked? So I intend to buy one separately.
I want something that will let me overclock, have a front MIC and SPK connections, and will be under $80.
I found one very interesting case - Sky Hawk/Eagle Tech Matrix PSR5605W-SL.
But how do I judge if it is good enough? Has anyone here used it?
