DFI Lanparty ut SLI-DR mobo
1gb of ddr400 (OCZ)
3500+ @ 2.6
7900 GS
3 SATA Harddrives (2 in raid)
2 IDE Harddrives
1 DVD Burned
1 DVD Reader
4 Case fans
and 3 external usb devices.


Right now my Enermax Noise Take 470 won't even get into the display propertie.

Any suggestions would be MUCH appreciated!
 
Anything sub $100? Even though thats a great power supply, just outta my budget.
 
ZZF has the HX 520 for $106 shipped. Can't beat that
 
Silverstone Element 500W Plus or Seasonic S12 500W. Both are great PSUs, and will be enough for your system. Just decide which one you like more, and which is more appropriate for your budget and that's it.

Corsair HX 520W is also great PSU, plus it's modular, so if you can find one for 106$, it's good deal (btw that PSU is manufactured by Seasonic also).

The attached link is for a PSU that is on the recommended list for the DFI mobo that you have. FSP is the OEM supplier for OCZ and Zalman so the quality is there. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16817104934
You should consider that is you plan to use two GPU's that the recommended power supply is min. 550 to 600W.

Good Luck!
 
ty for all the great recommendations!

hopefully after I sell my old mobo I'll pick one up right away!
 
You coulda done better :( like a Seasonic S12-EP 550 or 650; single rail > *

That, and your sig is WAY too long. rules say 10 lines max.
 
Updated my sig. ty for the heads up.

I would have went for a seasonic, but I got the OCZ 600 Watt GameXStream for $105 shipped. I couldn't pass up that deal. Normally its going for $135+shipping
