Queenz Posted November 16, 2006 Hey since my crap compusa PSU burnt out its finished. So now I am looking for a new PSU. I will only be purchasing from a store and not online. So my choice will be microcenter since they have some good fair prices. I am looking for a good PSU that will be able to power my Overclock very well, gaming, name brand, will not burn out any of my precious hardware, and most of all a cheap price somewhere in the 50 60 or 70 dollar range. Here is a link to the PSU section on microcenter's website: http://microcenter.com/search_results_e_co...2d69dd5824d73b7 Please help me choose a good reasonable one Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ste Posted November 16, 2006 Really The only one I see around your price is the Smart Power. Quality Wise, not wattage wise. Edit2: just Spend 89.99$ for the 500 Watt Smart Power. IF nothing else you can reuse it latter for lower end builds.... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ccokeman Posted November 17, 2006 I'm using this one Ultra 500wIn my wifes computer( 3700, A8R-mvp, X1300) and it has been very stable and easy to work with. It,s cheap but seems to be holding up to the usage for her. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Andrewr05 Posted November 17, 2006 (edited) Is your dad still against ordering from online stores? I guess its nice to support your local hardware store, but im sure newegg or tigerdirect have better deals...

swifty11212 Posted November 17, 2006 microcenter has a rather nasty price premium on most products, especially gpus. and honestly, i really suggest a pc power and cooling 510 for your rig. powered up my sli setup (post death) without a hitch. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
