Powerstream Vs Modstream VS liberty

[Digital Viper-X-]

I'm looking to get one of these 3 in 520w
I'm not sure what the difference is really, for example does the modstream come with pci-e connector? does the powerstream come with cables you can take off like the modstream, is the enermax worth waiting for since i can't get it yet? =p any input would help

going into rig below with either a an x1800xt or 7800gtx 512 going in later

The OCZ PowerStream 520W is my #1 recommendation. On sale at new egg for $120.

Thanks I don't plan on going SLI/Crossfire but the 520w Modstream is on there =D

if you really want modular, i'd go with the liberty over the modstream. a few threads on here a/b it but in short its got plenty of power and very efficient.

If you decide on the Enermax Liberty, please get either the 500W or 620W.

Although the OCZ PowerStream 520W is still the #1 DFI-Street recommendation.

Just curious...

The 520W only adds 3A to the +12V, the rest of it goes onto the largely unused +5V. Wouldn't the Powerstream 420 meet most requirements? The Powerstream 470 was where it was at, with all the added power on the +12V, and none on the +5V.

DFI REQUIRES native 24-pin ATX molex & 480W for all the DFI N4 mobos.

Not my rule & I have tried to change it!

However, the OCZ PowerStream 520W is the most successful PSU for DFI N4 mobos by far.
almost never any PSU related problems & helps to get very high OC's.

I Got the PSU ^_^ it's packaged REALLY well, like a nice velcro bag / book for the cables, the finish is nice on the powersupply too, though I'm waitin for my p180 and either(512mb gtx / x1800xt ) to finish it up
