Im going to upgrade my system with the following: AMD Athlon 64 3500+ Processor(939 socket) BFG Geforce 7600gt Video Card(PCI Express) I gig PC3200 Ram ASUS A8n-E socket 939 Nvidia Nforce4 ultra ATX AMD mobo I just need to know what kind of power supply would be best for me? any ideas?
When u r speding this much then y not to go with the latest technology for future expandability?? AM2's are not much expensive then 939's... Anyways, for your current system you can get any [link=http://www.hardwareforums.com/power-supply-sticky-5218/]good company power supply[/link] of 500W or more...
I'd budget between $80-120 (more doesn't hurt) to get a good range of PSU's. Off the top of my head any of the following will do the job in that price range: Antec TruePower TPII-550 (550W) Enermax EG565P-VE (535W, and what I use in my main box) Tagan TG-480-U22 (480W) OCZ Powerstream 520 (520W) Fortron/FSP Group AX-500 "Blue Storm" (500W) Hiper Type-R 580 (580W, modular) Hiper Type-M 580 (580W) Also, take a look at either Silverstone or Seasonic (specifically the S12 line if you're into low-noise) with 500W or more.
