Spook63 Posted February 20, 2007 CID Share Posted February 20, 2007 The most hard part for me is finding a good powersupply i like to get aleast a 500, but i found this Thermaltake TR2 W0070RUC ATX 430W Power Supply 115/230 V, but i think i need to go bigger. So what do you suggest? I used to use Antec until one crapped out a day after the warranty expired. I bought a BFG Tech 650W, which has a Lifetime warranty! http://www.bfgtech.com/power_supply_650W.html Or here is the 800W one http://www.bfgtech.com/power_supply_800W.html Congrats on your marriage.

justinlay Posted February 20, 2007 Author CID Share Posted February 20, 2007 Cool Yall, ill be checking into them. Im going to do some overclocking thats about it. If the board lets me, So im guessing a 500-550 will get me buy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swimmer Posted February 20, 2007 CID Share Posted February 20, 2007 500 should be more than enough to power everything you are looking to run. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlewis23 Posted February 20, 2007 CID Share Posted February 20, 2007 congrats on the marriage. anything over 400 will be plenty. But it doesn't hurt to have extra. And i would go with a antec power supply, they are the best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justinlay Posted February 20, 2007 Author CID Share Posted February 20, 2007 Thanks dlewis23, and swimmer, ill check into them too. On my amd i have a weak 300w in it and i can see it struggle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VanBuren Posted February 20, 2007 CID Share Posted February 20, 2007 congrats Justin check this out http://extreme.outervision.com/psucalculator.jsp with your setup it says around 300W minimum I would go for a PSU with a large fan to reduce sound, check out the sound data.

Guest kamil234 Posted February 21, 2007 CID Share Posted February 21, 2007 i'd go with 400W minimum. and make sure it has enough amps on the v12 rail antec and silverstone are good power supplies. also i heard good things about OCZ gamxtreme or something like that. i have a coolmax 500W PSu and im having no problems with it, my comp: amd 4200+ stock 2.2 running at 2.6ghz 2 gb ram ( 2x1gb) evga 8800GTS 1 dvd/rw drive 1 250gb HDD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlewis23 Posted February 21, 2007 CID Share Posted February 21, 2007 SeaSonic is also another good power supply manufacture, theres are always rated very high. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rushonbye Posted March 3, 2007 CID Share Posted March 3, 2007 The "Thermaltake TR2 W0070RUC ATX 430W Power Supply 115/230 V" should do just fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
