Hey everybody, ive been looking at different PSUs, and im trying to figure out which is best. I realize Corsair is a great brand, but so is Antec, so brand isnt really a deciding factor IMO. Ill be running Radeon HD 6850, Phenom II x4 955, and my case of choice comes with 4 fans, im fairly certain my mobo only supports one case fan. The rest i plan on connecting to the PSU. All are 80+, Choice 2 is Bronze certified.

I DO NOT PLAN TO OVERCLOCK

Hi Route 73096

I have a geforce gts 250, athlon II x4 640, 3x hard drives, 3x 120mm fans all
my usb ports occupied all running off a cooler master 450w psu with no problems. Considering your
cpu will use +- 125w and your gpu about 127w I would go for the Antec NEO ECO 520C 520W. Even generic brand power supplies normally do the job although some will disagree. Also check the sites that make an calculation of your total wattage by selecting your components check it out http://www.coolermaster.outervision.com/
