Recommend me a PSU

[forty2skates]

I'd like to replace my current PSU with a decent modular one without breaking the bank. I could really use space inside my case to help keep things cool. This is what I'm running right now. Any suggestions?

Sub $150, less is better
X55 MB w/ i7 860

That sure isn't modular, my main criteria for a new PSU. Thanks for playing anyway. I'm leaning towards one of the two modular Corsair units posted right now.

Seasonic X-650, or if you can shell out just a little more, X-750. They're so sexy.

Anything that Thermaltake makes that doesn't have the word "toughpower" in its name is terrible. Out of spec ripple at rated wattage, poor quality caps, etc.

Good idea getting a new PSU

For only $20 more, the Seasonic X650 is a much better power supply. 80+gold, almost non-existent ripple, really quiet, fully modular.

See above, Ultra is good if you can get them cheap, I wouldn't pay any more than $100 for that particular unit.

Unless he is planning on running 5+GHz overclocks on that setup there is no way that he would ever need 750w

Your system pulls about 350w max, so I would recomend this PSU:

or



550w is more than you will ever need even if you want to SLI GTX460's later on.

That Antec psu has very good ripple suppression, high quality Japanese capacitors, 80+ bronze, and is modular
