which one would you buy?

[iewcoke]

I narrowed down my PSU picks down to two. Now I just don't know which one to pick.

They are:

and

FSP

 

[lordaardvark2]

as stated above, FSP is a pretty prestigious and popular company. i'd go with them, however, not because of that fact, but rather because they have like $2 cheaper shipping


i'm a BAAAAADDDDD cheapskate. :lol:

 

[merlin3791]

out of those 2 I like the Hiper better. But I really dont like either one.

my first choice for 500w and under would be:

www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16817151029

and my second choice would be:

www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16817194003


By the way this is the Seasonic I'm using right now and I love it. Very well made. I recommend them all the way!

[lordaardvark2]

Hiper's got 30 more watts.

BUT IS THAT WORTH TWO DOLLARS?!

lol :lol:

its whatever, man.

 

[iewcoke]

Yeah I would buy a more powerful or a seasonic, but this is going to be part of a budget build. And i know for a fact that both those PSU's are good brands.

 

[iewcoke]

Then I shall get the Hiper then! I am getting the eVGA 7600GT, but it might be powerful enough for future upgrades i hope!

 

[iewcoke]

Yeah I know, I am kind of on a budget, so I may get a stronger DX9 card like an x1950 or a 7950. Otherwise, I might just wait a few months, maybe even a year, before I get a new DX10 card and PSU.

Thanks again.

 

[doolittle]

I would get the FSP.

Strike one against newegg: The spec summary is wrong, it lists the continuous outputs not the peak.

This unit has 17.5A peak per +12 rail. You can add the two for a 31A giving you 372W total on +12. It's right on the money since +3, +5, +12 combined is rated at 440w. I think FSP / SPI are the only manufacturer that lets you do this.

Strike two: Price! Get it from ewiz for $65 / $76 shipped

 

[iewcoke]

Last Question: Would the 500W be too powerful or would the 450W be sufficient power for this system: E6400, GA DS3, 2gb ram, 250gb HDD, 7600GT?

 

[iewcoke]

well this 450W http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16817104954 should be sufficient and the only reason why i wanted to know is because i could save like 30 bucks than if i had gotten http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16817104934 this.

Are they both on the nVidia SLI Certified, http://www.slizone.com/object/slizone_build_psu.html#certified_powersupplies , and ATI/AMD Certified, http://ati.amd.com/technology/crossfire/buildyourown2.html , PSUs lists ?

I've got the FSP running my rig. Absolutely no problems. My 165 and X1800XT are both slightly overclocked.
