what kind of system are you building? gaming i assume?
what parts do you have/are looking at?

PC Power and Cooling is all I use now. They are the best of the best, but expensive.

the antec TPII-550W is badass (in my sig) imo.... but more than 50

 

[madking153]

ya , is for gaming , so i need around 550W ...

anyone use Raptoxx before??

 

[madking153]

another thing, if i use PCI-e do i need a special PSU?

I suggest nothing lower than the PC Power and Cooling Turbo-Cool 510 SLI/Express. It's a little more than $50 but WELL worth it in the long run.

PCP&C (why did I type that out...) is a alot of money and not worth it for a average build. OVerclocking wise, it is one of the best there is.

List your specs, as you may think you need 550, but a 400w will be more than adequete.

Id Say fortron and enermax would be a good area for you to look into.
