New power supply

[sadiawolf]

I am looking to buy a new power supply and I was wondering what are some good named brands and some that I should be avoiding.

Good Corsair, Seasonic, Enermax, Antec, XFX,... just to name few
BAD Logisys, Diablotek, Sunbeam, Raidmax, Apevia ...... just to name few
Good reference list http://www.eggxpert.com/forums/thread/323050.aspx

Ok well im getting a Vapor-X HD 5770 and i have been reading up on it and I was wondering if Antec 450W (VP450) Basiq would be good enough

That PSU will work fine with that card.

Yes that psu should be fine,however, i can think of a few units that offer better efficiency and 3yr warranties.
