Quality PSU for <$50

[samuelspark]

I would prefer it to be before MIR but I can live with after MIR.

Currently, I've been thinking OCZ ModXStream Pro 500w or OCZ Fatal1ty 550w but I'm wondering if there's any better deals out there. Thanks.

I recommend both those units all the time.
Great value price/performance wise.
Personally run two ModX 600's.

If you would have got this yesterday would have been another $10 off

...the 500w you choose is good too.

It depends on how many watts you actually need.

Corsair makes great PSUs, and you have three options
- 600W http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139028
- 500W http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139027
- 430W http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139026

Antec sometimes has some great rebate/sale combos on newegg (just missed one myself) Right now you'd have to go to sub 500W for a PSU from Antec. Right now I wouldn't get any of them over the Corsair offers.

I want to run a GTX 570 but I'm going to initially pair it with a GTX 460 soc.

 

[davcon]

I would go higher then 550W guy.A GTX 570 requires a 600W psu alone to be on the safe side.
Look at budgeting $100 for a 750W unit if those are your plans.

 

[samuelspark]

Aw crap.

 

[slcmike]

For the 570 you'll need a 550-watt power supply, minimum! I'd go 600-650W but I like room for a little expansion.
