Rosewill unit would be the most solid of the 3, good brand dual 12v rails with 30a+ even though its the dearer i would go with that... esp if ocing

Errrrrr....... Rosewill and the Coolermaster are Tier 5 units and are not recommended. The Thermaltake is a Tier 4 and would be better quality wise, but it is severely lacking in the +12v rail department. Your price constraint has put you in a tight spot. I can't truthfully recommend any of those units.

Do you think you could stretch and get this one: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] 6817104954

FSP is a much better brand quality wise and it has a decent amount of power, enough for your setup.

LOL, I was just going to say the same thing, except my link was for a FSP with 400W
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] 6817104935
FSP Group FSP400-60THN-R ATX 2.0 400W $58 including shipping

Yours is a better idea IMO even if it's $8 more.

Don't get that Rosewill, get the Rosewill RP500-2. That was reviewed by JonnyGuru to be one of the best in the price segment.

After learning that it is a tier 5 PSU and should not be used and getting advice on another better PSU. If you still want the Rosewill, then you should have it. It was meant for you. :pt1cable: :lol:

The last thing you want to "save money on" is the power supply.
For more reasons that I wish to enumerate, just don't do it.
This should take care of your power needs, as you are looking at the general are of this PSU's out put.

This Fortron is slightly better than the ones listed above due to its slightly better efficiency, and it will power your rig just fine. I have one myself and have used 5 others for friends rigs. All going strong. Best low cost PSU's on the planet IMO. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] 6817104032
