New PSU Suggestions

[GlobalFear]

I've read through the sticky but, still haventy found what I'm looking for so:

I need a good brand psu for around $100 that must have a 24pin main plug and a pciexpress conector.

Thanks

You're oging to be hard pressed to find a decent PSU that meets your requirements for $100. The only PSUs I can think of that even have PCI-e connectors are the:

Antec NeoPower 480
OCZ Powerstream 520ADJ
Vantec Stealth VAN-520A

Personally I would stay far away from the Vantec.

PC Power and Cooling are THE best!

you can get a hell of alot more supply by just kicking down that 20 to 30 bucks

like the Neopower

agreed, like the OCZ its another Topower, but its just a PW series with basic spec compliance, the OCZ is a P6 series that exceeds spec as does the Neopower

The Enermax 495VE (485W) also has a PCI-E connector.

New model Antec 430's ship with a 26a on the 12+ and two Serial Ata connectors. I managed to test one and found it to be way more stable. I need to do more testing though.

ATX 2.0 compliance, meets your budget, and is from a known-good brand.

I went with the Antec Neopower. Good Solid PSU!

I was asking about the True Power 430

I was asking about the True Power 430

Antec True 430's use 20-pin connectors (I have one). But there's no reason why you can't just buy a 20-24pin adapter for it.

It has a solid 36A on the 5V rail which is nice for ppl like me who have mobos with no 4-pin ATX connector.

 

[SnakePlissken]

EnderW did not know you was just looking for that brand of psu. I do hope my list has aided you on your search.

Here is a good power supply I just bought, it is fully ATX12V 2.0, it has 24 pin but comes with an adapter for 20, it has SATA connectors and 12V aux as well. It also has a good input volt tolerance of 90-135VAC as well as an Active PFC and a MTBF of 400,000 hours all for $80.00. Not sure about PCI-E connectors though, since I haven't used PCI-E yet I din't know they had a special connector.

BTW It also has dual 12 volt rails and is rated 450 watts continuous not just peak.
