Hello guys i'm new around here.
I have a question and maybe you can help me.
Soon i will get my 8800GTS 512Mb and i will need a new PSU.
My specs are:
CPU AMD X2 5000+
2x1Gb DDR2 667Mhz
120Gb Sata2 HDD
8800GTS G92 (will come)
2x120Mm fans
1xDVD-RW
1xDVD/CD
every thing is running stock and i don't plan to OC my rig.
I have 2 options by now
1.http://www.ncix.com/products/index [...] omoid=1051 2.http://www.directcanada.com/produc [...] OLERMASTER i'm looking to spend around 40-45$ for a PSU and it has to been from Canada.
Thanks in advance
but if you have a piggy jar somewhere please break it and dont sell yourself short on a PSU. get one that can let you upgrade some more from this config in the future.
Here's a review of the coolermaster PSU from your first post
http://www.hardwaresecrets.com/article/550 As it says one of the problems that the Coolermasters have is 2 different manufacturers, different quality levels and not running up to their labeled power.
The closest to your budget and is a quality unit is the seasonic. Any of the PSUs recommended by gaiden would be an excellent choice.

Just so you know, you won't pay PST if you live in Ontario and buy from ncix.
well thats the thing.i live in Montreal so i will pay GST and pay shipping.well the Seasonic comes with free shipping but thats all.
one last psu http://www.ncix.com/products/index.php?sku=26884 i like this one and i think its pretty good but i don't know about that MIR....any ideas?
the OCZ Steathstream is a decent PSU, not up to the seasonic, corsair, PC Power and Cooling or Earthwatts quality, but not down to the Coolmax quality. Here's a HardwareCanucks review of the steathstream 600w, both are FSP built units.

You'll probably find this hard to believe, but the Seasonic 400W is actually stronger than the OCZ 500W. The Seasonic offers 30A, you need 28A, and the OCZ offers 27.5A (330W/12V).
