sigh.. another psu question. this time which one!??!

[crossfire]

i dont have enough money for a corsair 620w. but I do have enough for a corsair 520W. but then i saw the zalman 600w. there both modular psu.

the problem is im not sure if it can support the graphic card im getting soon. yet theres overclocking, adding hd, airflow, maybe upgrading to a better graphic card (8800gtx) etc on the side.

so which one should i get? theres a special for the corsair only for 120$ yet the zalman is 140 a bit more than the corsair. price is not a issue, i just need more power.

i already ordered a 8800gts 320mb superclocked from evga. maybe in the future i might add a x-fi music, couple of harddrivers there.

i currently got a thermaltake tr2 550w.

All of them would do fine, but I'd go for the Corsair 620W personally.

like i said. i dont have enough money really. but if i had i woulda go with the corsair 620w hands down.

but then now i thought about it. i proberly in the future i'll purchase another 8800gts 320mb

 

[crossfire]

mm just a last question. would the 520w corsair be able to handle 2 8800gts? cuz i proberly be ending up sliing them in the future. yet, i dont want to spend more money on another psu when the time comes.

 

[crossfire]

yikes. i guess i shouldnt be buying another psu then. i guess i should stick to my current PSU.

anyways thanks a bunch

 

[crossfire]

so how much is needed for one 8800gts 320mb?

 

[crossfire]

lol guess what my current only has 29A on +12v. i am amazed. now i should really replace it. lol

 

[crossfire]

i see why im having these post problems nad that... thanks for the help. im proberly getting the corsair 520w. its on special and its only 120$CND.

 

[crossfire]

does it matter how mcuh watts? or is it the amps? cuz i compared with the zalman, there pretty equipvant. but the zalman has more watts.

 

[crossfire]

so i bet better off buying a 600w instead of a 520w?

Well, glad I stumbled on this thread - it partially answers some of my questions. I'm also on a limited budget.

I can get OCZ GameXstream 600W on special for CAD 98. But its sounds like it's a bit dodgy?

I am doing a new build, would perhaps like to overclock my E4300 (on air, never done overclocking before) and eventually upgrade to a single 8800 GTX (way in the future ).

Would the OCZ handle all of that? Or would it "ripple" (no idea what that means either )
