Need a new power supply

[NeoNemesis]

I'm looking to upgrade my Antec 330W true power to something of equal or greater quality but with more power. Noise is also a big factor.

Cheers

What else is in your computer right now?

3 Case Fans

Your power supply will handle that load just fine, but I can recommend you something. Just state your budget.

The reason I'm looking is because I'm planing to upgrade a couple of things this summer (video card, ram, HD's, DVD-RW, some more fans) and I don't think 330 will be enough.

The max I would be willing to spend on a power supply would be about $150.

The Antec TruePower 550 should do quite nicely. My brother has it, and along with his Zalman CPU heatsink, it makes for a pretty quiet environment. It runs right around $100, and should be well suited for your next upgrade.

Nice, I think I'll go for the 550. I ordered the Zalman hsf yesterday. The model I got was the cnps7000a AlCu rather then the pure copper because of the weight issue.

I've got the Antec True430 and overall its pretty good. The external molex connector comes in handy, but it also has 3 SATA connectors and 2 fan only connectors. While all that's nice, I would have rather taken some more regular fan connectors....

All in all, it a pretty good PSU.
