Im deff gonna need over 350w.. so i chose the 430w

2 hd's
and either the 9700pro, or the geforce 4 ti4600

The only difference is the fan control. I will just get the cheapest model since they are very quiet already and there is no need to change the fan speed.

430W is plenty... even a good 350W will do but will leave you less room for upgrades.

But as Upec said that page tells you which fan control (temp/none/manual/etc.) the PSU has for which number.

Nope. Just in full agreement with Enermaxes. Ive got a 550W temp variable fan enermax you know. A worthy PSU if ever there was one.

dam 550 why do you need that much.. 430 is just to be extra safe for future upgrades... how much [-peep-] you got running on your machine

Well it all started ages ago.

I began with a craptacular Omni 300W powering my a7v133 and 1200C. at stock it struggled a bit, but with overclocking it really was on the edge... 4.76v sometimes.

So there i was, OC limited with moolah to spend. I considered the 430W enermax at the time, but decided to go for broke.
So for a few $$$ more i got the 550W and have been living happily ever after, regardless of what OC i threw at it.

My 550W enermax was gotten last year, so its an older model... none of this manually adjustable fan crap! The fans in mine are temperature controlled. 1500rpm for really cold days, climbing to 2500rpm on days when the room gets to 30C, And still barely audible.

My only gripe is that the 5v line is a tad low, they could have tuned it a bit higher.
with my tbredA 1700+ @ 1833mhz @ 1.7v it gets down to 4.89v, But its within spec and doesnt fluctuate AT ALL, so im happy.

I also have a 350W Enermax with temp fan control... I love it, it runs perfect. But it isn't enough for extreme overclocking with a douzen of fans inside my case so therefore I run dual 350W.

No serious... I really have two 350W PSU running in my case.
The Enermax powers my mobo and HDs... the Codegen (came with case) one power CDROMs, FDs and fans.
