My Antec NeoHE PSU (outlined in my signature) died on me last night after 2 years of flawless operation, so now I'm in the market for a new one. My system specs are exactly as shown in my sig, and I'm looking for recommendations on approx. the wattage I would need.

The 480 watt served me well w/ a 7800GTX, but I fear the upgrade to the 8800GT may have shortened it's life significantly. I'm considering going with another Antec, specifically the recently-reviewed NeoPower 650, but I hear Corsair is all the rage these days. I'd like to keep it in the $100 - $120 range, and I don't need ridiculous amounts of power, even for future upgradability, because with this system it's not an option (I will be turning it into a server in the near future after I build a new uber-rig).

What do you guys think?
 
Corsair 550/650 check them out at buy.com, the 650 is around $100 and the 550 is less :p
 
Antec has a FIVE YEAR warranty & they cross-ship! Get another ASAP! They may even upgrade for you!

Good Luck!

PS: See my signature...I have a Antec Neo 550 PSU & it's been great.
 
Antec PSUs. Bah. Pick up a Corsair, RMA the Antec, sell the new one and offset the cost. Minus one headache.

Corsair does too ..at least where i come from.

I must mention one thing though.. for the very first time in a system build i have never even bothered to glance at the voltages with my HX620...and it can handle SLI with a overclocked quad.
