Hey, I need a CHEAP power supply that will provide enough power for two 4830's

I am hoping the price will be lower then $65 (every dollar counts, and I mean it.)

My current setup is this.

Processor: AMD phenom II 720 2.8 ghz
MotherBoard: Asrock a780GXE
Memory: 4GB ddr2 1066
Sound: integrated
Fans: 3 (120MM)
Case: coolermaster rc-690

Thanks!

PSU'S from newegg.com preferably.

How about this? since I am already buying coolermaster rc-690 from coolermaster.com maybe I should buy the case that comes with a coolermaster Real-Power 550W sli crossfire ready PSU? that's only $40 for a decent power supply

Get yourself a well known/quality brand such as Corsair, Thermaltake, PC Power & Cooling, Zalman, etc

This will give you a little headroom for your next upgrade. You never want to go cheap on your most important component.

I don't think you guys understand lol, my budget for a PSU is $60 and under.

How about this.

The realpower coolermaster PSU's are of very good quality, better then normal coolermaster psu's

Look it's $130 at newegg.com http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] ster%20750

And it has a continous output of 750W and a peak output of 900W

White, the PSU is the most important part of the computer... especially when your running 2 videocards. I recommed an Antec 500-600w.

Nice psu, I heard earthwatts are very powerful and alot of people are running two 4830's on the old 380W earthwatts just fine.

Reply to whitefang

+1 for the Antec PSU

Also, do you already have the 4830s? or are you planning on getting them? If you are planning on getting them, wait until the 4770 comes out. It will use less power so you could probably run Crossfire easy with the Antec.
