Seeking power supply

[lcp1109]

Hello, I'm seaching for a power supply, that make little noise, and can handle:

Phenom 550@3.7 - 3.9 MHz (hopefully with more tha 2 cores )
2x HD 5770
3x2gb ddr3 1.65 - 1.72 v
2x 500 gb Samsung F3 in raid 0
4-6 fans
2x DVD RW
1x wintv go
Case: NZXT Gamma

Price: € 50-100;

Brands: Aerocool; Nox; LCPower, BeQuiet; Corsair, OCZ, Tacens, THERMALTAKE

Btw, what is best, 2x 12v with 40-50A in each one, or 5x12v with 20-24A each one?

corsair. what model?

 

[lcp1109]

that is precisely my question

between those brands and price range, what I should get to make that machine work.

 

[shovenose]

well i would suggest this:
corsair 750w: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139006

Hi there,

I would recommend a Corsair 550W. Using this: http://extreme.outervision.com/PSUEngine you can calculate your power consumption pretty accurately. Your PC's is approximately 388W at 90% load.
You always want headroom so go for 450W at the minimum. Better safe than sorry though so get a 550W if you can. Corsair is IMHO the best brand for psu, though there are many other great brands such as antec, etc.

Hope this helps!

500 to 700w are not recommended?

 

[shovenose]

well i wouldnt do a 500w psu for dual 5770s, multiple drives, etc. ok i would say the corsair 650w would be sufficient. its still a great psu!

 

[matt314]

The more watts the better but its of course more expensive. Get the most you are willing to spend! That link I indicated simply helps you select the cheapest option. I can tell you with confidence that a 650W would be more than enough; I am running multiple drives, 5 fans, an overclocked 955 and a 5970 on a Corsair 650W and I've had no problems at all.

Good luck!

corsair hx 850

 

[lcp1109]

not in the price range

 

[logan the huge]

Corsair 650TX. With the Japanese caps it comes with, 30% capacitor aging would likely take a good 10+ years.
