I was thinking of upgrading the power supply that came with my case to something more stronger so I wouldn't have to worry about it in the future. The two I'm thinking about getting are OCZ ModStream or Antec TRUEPOWERII. My computer is ASrock 939 dual sataii,AMD64 3200 ocd to 2.34, 6600gt agp ocd ( I want to upgrade it soon),1gb 2x512mb ram, a dvd drive,cd drive, 2 hardrives, floppy drive and some case fans.
 
It doesnt really matter to me unless thats the only major diffrence.
 
The TruePower II is the much better PSU. Lots of +12V amperage, whereas the Modstream is a pretty old design with a heavy +5V. The cables are very stiff too.
 
I've got that exact Antec PSU. It's good quality and such, but my single complaint about is that I don't think the cables are long enough. I wouldn't hesitate for either.
 
I ordered the Antec and got a $15 rebate. Should be here in a few days. Thanks. :)
