Just to start dont point me to the PSU guide thread because for some reason it will not load for me.


I would like to know what type PSU I need for the following computer:

MSI Neo4 SLI
3500+ Venice
4x512mb Corsair Value
BFG 6800Ultra OC 256MB PCI-E
120gb WD sata
80gb WD ata
Audigy2
DVD-RW
CD-RW

I was looking at http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16817103922
Is that good enough? I always over look the PSU, doh!
 
Well while it would work......there may be better alternatives.

Is that the price range you are looking at(~100)? What features do you want? Quiet, bling, balls to the wall performance, etc?
 
Mixture between quiet and performance, but I had to choose one or the other it would be performance for sure. Price range $130 or less.

Well right on the edge of your price range but it is the absolute best mix of the two is teh Seasonic S12-500: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16817151024

And it will handle just about anything you can throw at it.

Now a slight step down across the board brings us to the Antec TruePower II 480. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16817103929

It will also handle everything you are looking at with room to grow but will be louder.
 
Loads fine for me.

As your mobo is SLI capable the Antec TP/TC II 550W SLI Certified are excellent choices as is the Seasonic S-12 600W.
 
Antec ATX 2.0 true 550W!!!! Spend some money----> PC Power and Cooling 510 Turbo Cool -SLI. You wont be sorry. :D That bad boy will jump start your winnebago.
 
Ok thanks, Im gonna go the Antec TrueControl II 550. Question whats wrong with Thermaltake PSUs, exactly anyways?
