Hi all, have finally got round to doing my new build and need some recommendations mainly on a psu if you could. I have gone for the Akasa Zen case (I know, but I don't have all that much money) but I am stumped regarding the psu.
I need something around the 500W mark with two sata power connectors and can provide enough amps / volts to power the following:
Intel Pentium D 3.4/3.6 Processor (Can't take heatsink off)
Sapphire X850 XT 256MB Graphics Card
DFI INFINITY 975X/G Motherboard (24 Pin)
Standard 250GB Sata II HDD
1 Optical Drive
+Overclocking potential
The main reason why I haven't been able to find anything is the fact that there are some powerful ones out there on the market for $40 or so but are made by the most obscure brands. Someone once told me that the heavier a psu is, the better quality it usually is?
Regards,
JVenning
