EVGA's website says this abt Minimum power recommendations for my GTX 560 card:
So i should be ok with a 500w/36A PSu
Warranty is an issue for me though, eapecially that i live in really hot climate
The price diff is around $100, is there anything wrong with the ST50EF being old? Will I be skimping on any features or capabilities for some modern components power needs?
Thanks for the advice, i am adding ITOCP and PC Perspective to my list of trusted sites :)
The only 500W unit that he carries and has decent reviews is the SilverStone ST50EF-PLUS
Any thoughts?

He also has a cooler master eXtreme power plus 550, but I am gonna stay away from cooler masters after what I heard/read about the GX
Will not be overclocking any of my components (CPU/GPU)
I need to have a talk with the shop owners since he insisted I will need 750W because of my "superclocked" GTX card and tried to offload me the GX PSU
Thanks for the insight. Will look and see what 500W units he has
Hello there fellas
You should know the shpiel by now :kaola: limited options for me as I live outside the great US of A. Which of these power supplies do you recommend? I need 750W
- Antec High Current Gamer HCG-750...
Going for the Carbide 500r guys with DEMCIflex dust filters for the side covers (if I can figure out where they sell them!)
Thanks for all the help everyone!
the 500r is giving it a good run for its money too, always in the top 3-4 in all test
Questions, Will better cooling/airflow (and thus more fans) accelerate dust build up problems?
Where I live it can get dusty at times (I know the, dust and heat, the bane of electronics! but I have to...
Thanks for the insight
When I consider the weather down here (30-40 for half of the year, 15-25 for the other half) I think cooling will be essential to the longevity of my components!
some posters over at tom's hardware are heavily recommending the 500R, is it only worth it with the watercooling?
Hi All
I live in a middle eastern country and let's just say we desparately need our own newegg. I am stuck with a limited selection of graphic cards for my new build (i5-2500k, Asus Z68 Pro, samsung 23" PX2370) and a budget of around $250.
I dont play games much but I would like my build...
