What power supply?

[Mr. tech]

I need to buy a new power supply? I'm thinking 500W should do... Any ideas what sort of power supply I should buy? What should I look for?

antec, thermaltake.... sunbeam on a lesser degree though.

the first two are great and very reliable

Get a brand name such as Antec, Thermaltake ect. Also get one that has a high amp 12 v rail. Around 25-30 is pretty good. DO NOT repeat DO NOT get a cheap one. You will be wasting your money

You can also go with themaltake I just bought on of their 500w PS and its is quieter than even my CPU and Graphics card fans not to mention the cool braided cables which are also longer than most so I can route the cables out of the way to hide them

I just bought a 400W PSU for $25cdn. All this crap is made in china anyways so why pay more.
