PSU Verfication

[giliara]

I was thinking of getting a Diablotek UL Series PSUL675 675W ATX 12V v2.31 as my PSU, it has 4 eggs on Newegg. But, I want some more input on this PSU to see if it is any good.

BAD PSU brand

From what I've heard, Diablotek power supplies are generally very bad. Post your entire build and we can find you a better quality power supply that would be SAFE to use. Also post your budget, always something that can be found...

OK I have,

Case-Rosewill CHALLENGER Black Gaming ATX Mid Tower Computer Case

Motherboard-ASUS P8Z77-V LK LGA 1155 Intel Z77 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s

Graphics Card-XFX Double D FX-785A-CDFC Radeon HD 7850 2GB

Memory(RAM)-G.SKILL Ares Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM

Hard Drive-Seagate Barracuda ST1000DM003 1TB 7200 RPM

SSD-SAMSUNG 830 Series MZ-7PC064D/AM 2.5" 64GB SATA

Processor-Intel Core i5-3570K Ivy Bridge 3.4GHz

Before I was going to go with a CORSAIR Builder Series CX500 500W ATX12V v2.3 as a PSU but the price went up a bit. I need the PSU to be around $40-$50.

Here are two power supplies:

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817194095

I'll be back in a bit with an edit if we can fit 450 watts in there, should be enough but we may be stretching it a bit tight...

Looking at the reviews, I think I might go for the first one......

Yes, Antec is a very good brand... you still want me to look for 450 watt power supplies? I believe the video card can be easily satasfied by its amperage requirement but it does kind of seem too short of headroom/extra wattage. Is this computer overclocked?

Edit: WAIT! How about this one?
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139028

It will cost more initially but I believe if you do the mail in rebate you save money and you get more wattage.

This computer isn't built yet, I would not be overclocking it right away maybe a few months after because I won't have enough money for a CPU cooler.

EDIT: Wow! that it a good deal on that PSU with rebate I think I'll go for it.
