PSU for X2 6000+ & 8800GTS

[goodie]

can someone recomend a decent Modular PSU for under £100
to power Athlon X2 6000+(soon getting) BFG 320mb 8800GTS OC
i've got my eye on-
Zalman 600W
Thermaltake toughpower 750W
Corsair HX20
OCZ look OK but most reviews i've seen say they are noisy!
any recomendations?

I'd go with the TT toughpower.
Every mentioned psus handle more than your system specs, but from the reviews, the TT is a winner. Just make sure to plug sufficient hardware while you don't have the GTS. The manual is well written and I advise you to read it carefully.

what do you mean plug sufficient hardware?

Those psus don't like to be on without plugging a pci-e rail. Sometimes they deliver to much power to other components when power is not well distributed by the rails.

can you clarify, do i use pci-e on main rail or use one of the 2 independent pci-e rails?

as long you plug a 6 pin pci-e to the gfx card, you're ok
