ClayMeow Posted September 7, 2008 Posted September 7, 2008 Building a budget build for my dad. I'll most likely be getting this Rosewill case (I've worked with Rosewill cases before and I want something relatively cheap with decent airflow). First, here are the expected specs: Intel E5200 x1900xt 1x250GB SATA drive. So I know I shouldn't need anything powerful...here's what I've narrowed the PSU down to (all on the OCC Recommended List, btw): Antec True Power Trio TP3-550 - $59.99 w/ Free S&H Antec Earthwatts EA430 - $49.99 after $10 MIR, but $10.87 S&H OCZ StealthXStream OCZ500SXS - $49.99 after $20 MIR I'm leaning towards the first one since there's no MIR and free shipping, plus I've used Antec PSU's/Cases before and like them. I usually prefer modular, but because this is a budget build, I'm trying to save as much money as I can, while still choosing a reliable PSU. If you have any other suggestion though, I'm all ears. There will be NO OCing, so keep that in mind. Thanks, guys Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ClayMeow Posted September 7, 2008 Posted September 7, 2008 (edited) Thanks, guys . We may have a winner with that OCZ for a mere $34.99 after MIR! EDIT: wow, I'm shocked about the lack of free S&H on zzf too! Edited September 7, 2008 by ClayMeow Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulktreg Posted September 7, 2008 Posted September 7, 2008 (edited) Wish I could find deals like that in the UK! Regards Paul Edited September 7, 2008 by paulktreg Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClayMeow Posted September 11, 2008 Posted September 11, 2008 (edited) Well the Antec I wanted is not $99.99. Should have jumped on it when I had the chance. Anywho, newegg is having a sale on PC Power & Cooling PSU's, which I've always heard good things about (Is it true they're owned by OCZ?). So I was thinking of getting this one. It's only 370W, but with PC P&C's quality and the components I'm using, that should be plenty (and it's 80Plus Cert). With newegg's 20% off promo code (PCP20), it will come to $48 and has free shipping, so I think it's too good to pass up...what do you guys think? Promo code expires 9/17, and in case you guys are interested, here's a list of the qualifying products.
