First, I have read the stickies and other posts about this issue but I would like some opinions on my situation. I am currently debating between 2 power supplies, an antec neopower and an Ocz modstream. I would prefer to have a modular power supply. I like the dual rail that the antec has but i would rather have a psu thats 500w +. My current system is this
AMD athlon XP 3200+
Abit nf7-s2
ThermalTake Volcano 12
Leadtek Nvidia 6800 gt AGP
Sound Blaster audigy 2 zs
2 WD 80g sata HD
DVD optical drive
DVD Burner
Some cheap floppy
4 ThermalTake 120mm thunderblades.
and 3 12" UV Tubes.
Please give me some suggestions and feel free to ask for any more information about my system.
Thanks
Update: Figured I would include reasons why I like each of the PSU's
Neopower
adv: Dual 12v rail, held up well in torture tests.
dis: 6 pin connector, 480w
Modstream
adv: 520w, sleved wires, 4 pin molex connector, quieter.
dis: not dual 12v rail.
I am basing this off of reviews from here
