I am in market for new PSU. I have Gateway Fx-6800 and psu went bad. Now in market for new one.
I am going to build new system with Ivybridge proccecor and Next gen video card either from Nvidia or ATI. I woon't be doing SLI.
Yes I will be getting gaming graphic card and I might OC in the feature. My price range around 140.
So I was thinking to get PSU that can handle my feature built. I will be using feature for mainly watching lots HD and HD 3D movies and playing games.
Here some links to PSU i was thinking to get. I chose because they all have good reviews and they are around my price range.
let me know if you prefer different brand or watts or anything.
I also want to know what is difference in certification. Some has gold, silver and bronze. Gold one seems more expensive. Does that effect me? I do care about engergy saving, but if perfomance taking huge plunge then i dont care.
