sigh.. another psu question. this time which one!??!

i dont have enough money for a corsair 620w. but I do have enough for a corsair 520W. but then i saw the zalman 600w. there both modular psu.

the problem is im not sure if it can support the graphic card im getting soon. yet theres overclocking, adding hd, airflow, maybe upgrading to a better graphic card (8800gtx) etc on the side.

so which one should i get? theres a special for the corsair only for 120$ yet the zalman is 140 a bit more than the corsair. price is not a issue, i just need more power.

i already ordered a 8800gts 320mb superclocked from evga. maybe in the future i might add a x-fi music, couple of harddrivers there.

i currently got a thermaltake tr2 550w.

Hmm, I'd say this psu, it can power more than a gtx

tons of amperes on the 12v rail, and if you ever manage to get the money, the 750w version (that peaks at 850w) has a mind boggling 60a on the 12v rails

The corsair is nice, but for your money, there are better psu's on the market, I'd go for this one

or this

both are nice

I think the enermax is kinda pushing the budet, and I'd recommend the pc p&c over all of them if price wasn't an issue, but if you say the ocz has problems (though I've heard great things on their psu's), then it's fine by me, you know you psu's far better than me

so how much is needed for one 8800gts 320mb?

an oc'd gtx in sli on only 56a? I think that's pushing it, but it's not really a senario we are currently dealing with anyways

I'd listen to mpilchfamily crossfire, he definitely knows his psus

lol guess what my current only has 29A on +12v. i am amazed. now i should really replace it. lol

i see why im having these post problems nad that... thanks for the help. im proberly getting the corsair 520w. its on special and its only 120$CND.

does it matter how mcuh watts? or is it the amps? cuz i compared with the zalman, there pretty equipvant. but the zalman has more watts.

so i bet better off buying a 600w instead of a 520w?

Well, glad I stumbled on this thread - it partially answers some of my questions. I'm also on a limited budget.

I can get OCZ GameXstream 600W on special for CAD 98. But its sounds like it's a bit dodgy?

I am doing a new build, would perhaps like to overclock my E4300 (on air, never done overclocking before) and eventually upgrade to a single 8800 GTX (way in the future ).

Would the OCZ handle all of that? Or would it "ripple" (no idea what that means either )
