Hi,
I'm thinking about building another system:

P5Q PRO
Q6600
BFG 8800GT 512MB OC
2x2GB DDR 800
1xDVD-RW
5xSATAII HDs
5xLED 120MM Fans

Now, I have 2 PSUs in house, and would like to know which one would be better suited for this. Or if I should just buy a new one..

1- OCZ ModStream 520W (Modular, got it in Nov-2005, but it seems to be a good PSU)
2- Coolermaster RP-600 600W (non-modular, got it a few months ago)

Thanks.
 
Hmmm if the CoolerMaster was a Real Power PRO, then yes, but I would go with the OCZ.
 
Of those 2, the OCZ should be fine. Primarily for 2 reasons:
1. You won't need those extra 80 watts
2. I have heard some bad things about the cool master.
 
so the OCZ Modstream 520W should be enough to power the system specs I posted above? Good!
 
Coolermaster RP-600 is from the eXtreme Power line, OCZ should be the lesser of the two evils.

Your build won't require much power, 500+ watts will offer the plenty of breathing space.
 
Thanks for the help guys..
I tried to use some calculators, but the ones in the PSU Forum is very outdated.. and doesn't even work anymore.. :)
I'll be using the 520W for my system, and the 600W for my server
