Hello fellas

I'm about to change my PSU and these are my options, there's not much variety on my local dealers and my budget is quite tight for i am saving for other parts.

Logisys PS550ABK
KMEX PZ650/24/P
Cooler Master Extreme Power 600W 20+4 pins
Cheapazaki PWSUN350

Any comments will be surely thanked.

You get what you pay for.

Two of them are Tier5

And lol @ the Cheapazaki PSU, don't know if I trust that.

Where do you live, what is the budget and what is the rig

My rig is a P4 Prescott 2.8 GHz @ 3.57 GHz
Cooler Master Jet-4 HSF
512 mb DDR Ram (kingston 333)
PCChips M909G MoBo :oops:
GeForce 5950 FX Ultra from PNY (extreme edition), kills my current PSU
PSU is 280 W OEM

I have about $300 on my budget for Ram, a MoBo and the PSU

I know I MUST change the MoBo in order to OC (right now i'm using cpufsb, but i don't like to OC that way for i cant lock the PCI speed). These are my options:

Biostar 865GV Micro
Biostar P4M80-M4
($65)

Heading for some corsair twinx of ddr 400 or one Corsair 5000
The thing is the VIA chipset doesn't allow dual channel, but the Intel one won't OC, so it depends on my MoBo Choice
($90-170)

What's left of the money is for the PSU
