Onion Posted June 14, 2008 Posted June 14, 2008 (edited) Antec truepower quattro 1000 watt is pretty cheap, but I forgot what site I saw it on. It is around 250 on newegg, and it was 150 on some other site. Edit: Buy.com has it for 170 with google check out. Heres the link. http://www.buy.com/prod/antec-true-power-q.../204697806.html Double edit: The 850 one is at 140 with google check out. Both are modular and are great products. I have the 1000 watt version. http://www.buy.com/prod/antec-true-power-q.../204697807.html Edited June 14, 2008 by l33t p1mp Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazy_Nate Posted June 14, 2008 Posted June 14, 2008 There are plenty of good options (for very reasonable - good prices). Any of these would get a vote from me (with the top two being my first choices): PCP&C Silencer 610 PCP&C Silencer 750 Corsair 650TX Corsair 620HX Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
hardnrg Posted June 14, 2008 Posted June 14, 2008 you probably only need about 350 quality watts... so buy the highest quality PSU at like 500W or more in case you want to add stuff or upgrade the CPU or whatever... emphasis on quality over quantity Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crazy_Nate Posted June 14, 2008 Posted June 14, 2008 Oh, almost forgot: I live in primitive, primitive SWEDEN. Does FedEx deliver where you are? From the PCP&C website it looks like shipping is free, even when I chose Sweden. (!!) I have no idea what fedex connect is, but fedex international is $30 (that might be the option for you) The deals aren't quite as good as newegg...however... $120-150 (USD) for a solid power supply is money well spent. https://shop.pcpower.com/power-supply/silen...610-eps12v.html (they have a shipping calculator on the right) What are typical store prices for power supplies in your area?

More specifically, I live in Gothenburg. I ask about fedex in sweden and they reply: "FedEx, isn't it that thingy in USA?" "Huh?" "Umm, a new cartoon character?" Example: 750W Corsair CMPSU-750TXEU costs 840SEK. EDIT: Yes, FedEx actually delivers, but i don't need it. a local store called Inet allow you to pick it up.

jammin Posted June 14, 2008 Posted June 14, 2008 A local store called Inet allow you to pick it up. Do you know what they stock? Or can they order in for you? If they stock the whole Corsair range (assuming that's where you took your example from), the the VX450 or VX550 would be good choices.

If they stock the whole Corsair range (assuming that's where you took your example from), the the VX450 or VX550 would be good choices. They have a website, and amazingly, buying in the website is cheaper. The corsair range is: 450W Corsair CMPSU-450VXEU 520W Corsair CMPSU-520HXEU 550W Corsair CMPSU-550VXEU 620W Corsair CMPSU-620HXEU 650W Corsair CMPSU-650TXEU 750W Corsair CMPSU-750TXEU 1000W Corsair CMPSU-1000HXEU Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jammin Posted June 14, 2008 Posted June 14, 2008 (edited) I'll grab a quote from another thread because it's also relevant here: * don't get an nVidia board if you aren't running SLI* don't get 750i if you are running SLI * don't get an SLI board with the thought of getting SLI "in the future", unless that means by next pay day or sooner And if you're not running two cards or more, you won't need a 750W PSU. The Abit IP35 option in the OP looks like the more sensible choice to me. Edited June 14, 2008 by jammin Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
