Power supply recommendation

[MRM0RT0N]

I am building a computer with:


MICROSTAR 760GM-P35, AM3, AMD® 760G, DDR3-1600 (O.C.) 16GB /4, PCIe x16, SATA 3 Gb/s RAID 10 /6, VGA+DVI, HDMI, HDA, GbLAN, FW, mATX, Retail
AMD Phenom™ II X4 955 Quad-Core 3.2GHz, AM3, HT 4000MHz, 4x 512KB L2 + 6MB L3 cache, 125W, 45nm, Black Edition, Retail
KINGSTON 2GB (2 x 1GB) ValueRAM PC3-10600 DDR3 1333MHz CL9 (9-9-9) 1.5V SDRAM DIMM, Non-ECC
XFX Radeon™ HD 5750 700MHz, 1GB GDDR5 4600MHz, PCIe x16 CrossFire, 2x DVI+HDMI+DP
SAMSUNG 1TB SpinPoint F3, SATA 3 Gb/s, 7200-RPM, 32MB Cache
SONY AD-7261S Black 24x DVD±R/RW Dual-Layer Burner w/ Lightscribe, SATA, OEM

I got a hold of 2 psu's. One is a linkworld 430watt psu and the other is an HEC orion 585wat psu.

Will either work, are either reliable, do you see any other problems with the system?

Thanks

Get rid of both of them and get yourself an Antec 380.

 

[MRM0RT0N]

so that will work with the specs??

 

[delluser1]

Yes, the 380 is plenty for those specs.
The Orion would work, but it's crap.

Both of your PSUs will work for your listed system. You do not need to buy another PSU unless you want to waste your money.

so if the 380 is plenty, why not just go with the linkworld 430, does it have a bad rep?? (i couldn't find any reviews on it)

It's much worse than crap, has a 19a 12v rail and a 40a 5v rail, was designed for 12 year old systems.
The Antec 380, 28a combined

That 585 Watts for the HEC Orion X-Power 585 is its Peak Output power not its continuous output power.

"Peak" indicates that the power supply will only run at the specified wattage for a brief period of time, possibly only a few seconds or up to a minute. This number is typically about 100 Watts more than the power supply's actual continuous rating.

For a single Radeon HD 5750 graphics card system a power supply with +12 Volt current rating of 20 Amps or greater is recommended. That eliminates the Linkworld power supply immediately.

The HEC Orion may have a chance of running your system with that graphics card.
