ARE THESE GOOD POWER SUPPLY's?

[DragonMaster]

I didn't touch to the part number tho.

Mirob's suggestion is the 450w version of the one KingCody posted. You don't need 450w and I think that even the 350w version would be OK in your case, unless you want to keep it for a future computer, but that would make your current one useless.

akaivan, excellent choice, and you are right, best bang for the buck and fairly newer style with the way its set up.
Never mind any crazy stories, enermax are right up there in good quality ps's!

wait the 1 i was talkin bout is the thermaltake..?lol

Sorry, my mistake, but enermax, antec, thermaltake, fortron, seasonic are all good so its ok, lol.
But we found a good deal on a thermaltake with $15 off, making it $25 and a real good deal. Stick with that, you cant go wrong.
Nothing wrong with some of the other choices.

I even think i may have said earlier that my current ps is a thermaltake. Sorry, but again, i am guilty of making a mistake. I cant remember what i said but my current ps is an enermax. But again, all the ps's i mentioned above are all good quality.
Darn, i just checked, i did say enermax originally. Just ignore this post please.

hey the day i was gunna order it the rebat was on its last day!>..... Any other ideas??!

 

[DragonMaster]

The Fortron suggested a few times.

Get the Enermax Liberty 550W or 600W and be happy.

Any of the others mentioned are fine. The Forton, as DragonMaster suggested and previously suggested by others is good, plus you have the list i gave you, any of those would be fine.
Again, especially with onboard vid you dont really need a ton of wattage. I get by fine with around 300 on my Enermax with a ton of stuff on it and a 32 mb vid card as well, not that the vid card is a lot, lol.

A good quality 300 watt will still get you by but i would suggest go to 350. There should be one or two of those power supplies that are under $50, more like $40.
Do you have any sata drives?
If you plan on rebuilding your system in the future and may want to keep the power supply, then you might want to plan for that and get a ps that has sata connections on it as well, just a thought. If you plan on keeping th new ps you buy with that pc and sell it when you want a new pc, then all you may need is a plain, good quality atx ps.
ps=power supply.

To be sure, give us the info on what you have installed on your current pc, the mobo, cpu, ram, hard drives, optical drives (cdrom dvdrom, burners), video (its above but it would be best to have info all on one place), and whatever other hardware you have on your pc.
Also, you might check the specs on your vid card to see how much power it drains, or check the video mfgrs website for info on that vid card, check their FAQ section.
That way we can give you a better answer on the ps. Too bad the $25 unit rebate ended, that was a good one. Another will come up though, always does!!
I take it your current power supply main connector is 20 pin, not 24 pin?

Now i didnt read the whole thread, but it seems to me they are saying a 250 watt ps will be ok with these type vid cards you are talking about, see here:
