Hi

Im looking at getting a new PSU for my system. I stumbled upon this PSU:

Anyone have any comments? Or maybe even a better alternative?


Thanks for any advice :)

that is a very good psu. I'm sure mpilchfamily could find a better one, but for more money.

Are you going to be powering the computer in your signature? If you are then it should be great.

Well, at the moment im running a 450W psu that came with my case (unbranded) it has a total of 31 amps (dual rail).
Thing is, i dont think that it will handle any more components, or even a 8800GTX for that matter.

So im thinking of upgrading the PSU, just to be on the safe side. Now i was checking out the 550W version of the True Power Trio range of PSU's, and im starting to think that its a better buy than the 650W version. The difference between the two PSUs is that the 550w version has one less amp per rail - which is really not much!

FWIW, if there's a CompU$A near you, they have it on sale this week. Initial price is about $10 higher (you need to figure the tax vs. shipping thing), but they have a $30 rebate also. Here's a link:

wow that compusa deal is pretty good.

I have gotten the tp3-650 from securemart for just over $107 shipped. IMO an excellent unit.
