Help on a psu?

[brent3323]

Any suggestions on a psu for my build wattage/ rails?
Specs....
Cooler Master:Haf 922 case...will be adding the 200mm side fan

Foxconn: P9657ab motherboard

Cpu:Q6700 most likely or 6600...not sure yet

Heatsink:Arctic Cooling Freezer 7Pro

Memory: OCZ 4GB (4 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400)

Graphics: 2x Crossfire Vision Tech Radeon Hd 4850's

Cd/Dvd: Sony Optiarc 24X DVD/CD Rewritable Drive SATA Model AD-7240S-0B -

Card reader: Nippon Labs ICR-BB All-in-one USB +eSATA

I have been considering something that can last another build or 2 such as the new ENERMAX Galaxy EVO 1250W ATX12V / EPS12V SLI Ready CrossFire Certified 80 PLUS BRONZE Certified Modular Active.
But is the $300 price worth it??
Or else something From Thermaltake or Ozc... they seem to be trusted brands.
Thanks for any help

I suggest going with something like this Corsair CMPSU-620HX. Anything more isn't really necessary for your build.

^+1. Agreed. OP, do you really need modular cabling? You can get a non-modular Corsair with higher amps/watts (to enable CrossFire/SLI for the future) such as the 750TX for cheaper. You have more than enough space for cable management in that case.

Also, swap the Freezer Pro to a XIGAMTEK S1283, better performance for about the same price. Make sure you get the bolt in kit for it.

The 620 suggest will be sufficient for your needs, the 1250Watt is massive overkill, you dont need anywhere near that much.

This says you should only need about 480 even when i inflate the specs on your system so that 620 will definitely work.
