1gb pc3200 ram
120gb ata-133 hd
MSI K8N4
Leadtek 6800gt pci-e
A couple extra case fans
Some lights

Thanks.

I wonder who suggested that! :upstare:

I'd say go for a more well-known brand like Enermax, Tagan (especially), Antec or ThermalTake

or go mad and get "pc power and cooling" psu, i thing there the best, very expensive though

I second those brands. I would say they are the best.

That PSU isn't shabby,but look at the cost. It will fall apart in your hands when you open the box. There is a good reason decent PSUs cost more. Don't skimp on a PSU as a bad PSU can actually destroy parts of your comp. Make sure it has stable rails as well, especially the 12v rail.

The brands listed above are great, however I have never heard of tagan, but they probally aren't bad.

Also, if your going for a cool look, research into getting your PSU sleeved or buying an already sleeved PSU. This means they put something around the cords so they don't take up a lot of space and it can make your comp look awsome and have less clutter. I got my PSU with orange UV sleeving so it glows orange in UV light. Very cool!

Heh, that does sound cool

But yea, Tagan are a great brand.. their PSUs come with a 5 year £10,000 connected equipment warrenty

The rails put out good voltage and you can adjust the voltage for each one with dials on the back.

He cannot spend that much. He only wants to spend ~$60..

 

[sychopike]

the enermax noisetaker 600w has yet to let down my system

 

[HaZe89]

Oh, I didn't see him say that.

 

[AmishSlayer]

Yeah...I 'm kinda on a tight budget here... I'm looking to pay $80 MAX because I have a bunch of other bills to pay right now.

lol I'm not THAT poor when it comes to hardware

 

[AmishSlayer]

How about this one?

+3.3V@30A; +5V@40A; [email protected]; +12V@18A; [email protected]; +5VSB@2A

 

[ComradeBadger]

You could probably get by with it.. but I'd recommend a 500W

Well, I don't mean to hijack the thread here but I have a small question.
I'm also buying a PSU and im looking for one about $100. These are the ones im looking into:

and
http://www.jr.com/JRProductPage.process?Product=4026564
heres mroe info on the X-Connect,
http://www.ultraproducts.com/product_details.php?cPath=37&pPath=157&productID=161

Anyway I hear great things about Antec, but X-Connects cord system is kinda cool(Only using the cords you need). and The X-Connect is cheaper, and looks cool(even though I would never be able to see it..)

I should be ordering one tommarow.

 

[AmishSlayer]

Or this one?

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16817153007

Aw hell..can someone just recommend one to me that's like $70 or under?

I keep hearing so many different things.

 

[AmishSlayer]

Well after much consideration I think I'll be going with a quality PSU instead of a cheapo.

Antec is good I hear and this will give me plenty of power...besides it has the PCI-E power hookup I need for my 6800gt and the 24-pin connector so I don't have to worry about using an adapter or anything.
