Need a solid PSU

[Shafra]

Hey All, running an AMD X2 3800 with 2gb of ram, 250gb WD HDD, 7900GT, Audigy 2 ZS. Looking to add on another 7900GT and want to have a good PSU in my system that supports SLI. I also like to leave the PC on 24/7 so want something reliable. Can someone recommend a good PSU for my needs around $80 US price? I like to buy from NewEgg so if you have any links, link away! I'm currently using a 550 watt Rosewill but I don't think it will handle another vid card.

Thank you for the help!

Thanks Would you rate this one better then the Antec Truepower Trio 550w?

YAY im back on the forums

I wouldnt rate that as better than Antec Truepower Trio 550w
in my personal opinion antec is a much stronger PSU.

Feel free to prove me wrong.

the trio blows that outta the water...

Lol, yeah, the Trio is a bit of a monster with 3 x 18A. But they're both much more than you need, so just go with the cheaper one. Hiper's a very well-respected enthusiast builder, perhaps more so than Antec.

@TriEclipse

with the system that he is getting he will take full advantage of the power that both of the above PSU's offer. plus getting a higher watt psu helps when he decides to upgrade parts in the future. the one thing you never want to do is underestimate the importance of a PSU and you never want to get something that may become insufficient. For those reasons i would choose a 550watt

@Shafra

if you have the money for the trio then i would suggest you get it. it will run everything perfectly when you get that SLI done!

 

[Shafra]

Done, the Trio has been ordered Thanks for the help.
