[SlyKilLeR]

I have $100 to spend on a new power supply that will meet the requirments of my system in my Signature. Will this work and is it the best buy?

Yea its def a great buy, im using that exact power supply right now, its great.

 

But I am having probs with my computer right now, but its a device driver problem...random reboots etc...

 

if you dont mind spending over...$60 more...you can get that same power supply sleeved here: http://www.performance-pcs.com/catalog/ind...roducts_id=3097 with a variety of options to choose from...I kinda wish I had done that, it makes the wires 31253154 times more easy to manage...and looks really nice.

I just bought OCZ one for my rig $94.00 bucks and if you want a mail in rebate of 15.00 order it by tommorow.

Yes it will work & at $100 it is a good buy,

however the OCZ PowerStream 520W is my #1 recommendation,

with adjustable rails, 1% load regulation, 5yr warranty & that famous OCZ customer service!

the fortron blue storm is a safe bet too.. one of the best PSU on the market, at an unbeatable price. ewiz has it for $61 +10 shipping (just about) and that is a KILLER deal!

none of those power supplies have 24 pin connectors, they all 20-24 conveters. DFI says they will not support customers with a 20 pin connector or ones that have 20-24 pin conveters. I am very confused right now.

the fortron blue storm and the OCZ powerstream do NOT have 20->24 pin converters, however, they might come with a 24->20 pin converter.. again, you will be alright buying the ocz powerstream or the fortron blue storm.. i do not know about any antec ones though

All of those PSU's have native 24-pin ATX, most in the form of a modular 20+4 pin ATX. :nod:
