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
 
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.

DFI NF4 Ultra-D
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
