Yea so I'm planning on building a new comp with my tax return, well at least it will pay for some of it. so I'm looking around and I'm gonna use an e6600 cpu on the Asus P5N-E SLI mobo, and for now one 8800GTS maybe another one later on. So I'm wondering what you guys would recommend I get, I am working on a budget here so I really don't want to go over $150 for the PSU and cheaper is always better but at the same point I don't want complete crap. And If any of you have any other recommendation as far as the other parts go I'm all ears. Also, so you know, I don't really plan on OC'ing this at least not for a little while. Thanks for any and all help you can give me.

600Watt range, check into Fortson (i think) they make nice PSU's for cheap, or Enermax.

Okay I found two that you might be interested in. They both have Quad Rails which is very good and both powerful enough to power SLI:


Here is one but its $10 over which isn't so bad for the name and price and specs:

Here is the one at your price that you want, and not to mention it's OcZ:

So this on is good. OCZ

yea, that 600W GameXtreem should be more than enough!

The 600W GXS is a decent PSU for the price.
I'm not completely sure about 8800GTS SLi with it, but it may handle it alright.
I'd check around to see if anyone has run 2 8800GTS from one if you really want to go that way.

Otherwise, I think you'll be fine.
