Ok, i'm currently trying to build a computer and i am having trouble figuring out which power supply to use for my Asus 8800GT. I've asked other Tech forums, and they all have told me the same thing, but the reviews on the product contradict what they are telling me.
I am looking at a hard drive from a company called hec (Orion). Other forums have told me that i should avoid this company and that it is junk.
Since i can't link the PSU that I am thinking about buying (not enough posts
)...ill give you the brand name and you can check it on Newegg.com
hec HP585D RETAIL 585W ATX12V Power Supply
This review is the one that really caught me attention and had me confused
Pros: I bought this power supply so I could use my eVGA 8800GT. I was really pessimistic thinking I could find a suitable power supply for my card at a cheap price. Man, was I wrong. This thing is a trooper. It does everything it was supposed to with no problems at all. Glad I bought it after all. I overclock my processor and graphics card as well, and this power supply doesn't falter at all.
Cons: None.
Now i understand that i shouldn't be cheap about my PSU, but honestly i don't want to spend 50 or more dollars on this if there is one cheaper that will do the job.
Can somebody PLEASE help me out with this, by letting me know if this will do the job. And instead of just telling me it's a piece of junk, please show me what is good within my price range (Nothing over 45 dollars).
Possible System Specs
Asus 8800GT
2 Gigs of ram (4 in the future) DDR2 800 (PC6400)
AMD Athlon 64 X2 4200+ 2.2 Dual Core Processor
BIOSTAR A770 Motherboard
My goal for this computer system is to be able to run crysis on Med/High with NO problems at all. Battlefield 2 on full high with NO LAG. And just to be able to play COD4.
Please, if you can help me out with finding a good PSU for my Asus 8800GT under 50 dollars, i would VERY much appreciate it.
