Ok guys here's the question ... I'm looking for a PSU that will give me the stability/performance to my setup i'm presently working on. I was thinking to buy Seasonic S-12 600 HT ... Would that be enough ?

What i have right now :

NZXT LEXA case
Pentium D930
P5WD2-E Premium
WD 250 GIG 16 mb
DVD±RW ( LG H10N )
FLoppy Disk
4 fans into the case 3x120 mm and 1x80 mm
LCD display for sensors

Will probably have :

Sapphire X1800GTO ( Eventually in crossfire )
2x1024mb in Dual channel ( Maybe 667 Mhz from OCZ )
Flat screen ( Don't Know yet )

If there's something missing that could help ask me ...

thanks

Yes that Seasonic 600w would be more then enough.

Here is a PSU calculator Link

You could also post your budget, so we could make recomendations if you like.

No budget really ...
I did take a look to the mother board power requirements :

ATX 12V 2.0 or later minimum 400w
should have EATX12V 8-pin/4-pin
can support at least 8A on the +12V_1 lead and 13A on the +12V_2 lead.
For Dual core ... 16A ( Peak 22A ) on the +12V_2 lead

What are these leads anyway ( +12V_1 and _2 _ ) ?

And i know it depends on other devices but i'm really not building this computer for gaming but for working with many applications ( multimedia center ) and lot of 3D programs like Autocad and solid edge ...

Thanks !

The S12-600 will be enough. Also, if you're going crossfire, don't get an X1800GTO, because if you manage to find a X1800 CF, it will severly limit the Crossfire card. Unless the X1800GTO is one of the cards that doesn't need a master card...

You want a minimum of a 500W PSU with 12V rating of 34A for SLI/Crossfire.
ThaWaxShop's suggested FSP is a great choice as is your Seasonic.
Personally I'd get one of the following:

PC Power & Cooling 510 ASL
FSP 600-700W
OCZ GameXStreme 700W (not 600W)
Seasonic s12 600W
Enermax Noisetaker 600W

Any of these will provide you with solid stable power for all your requirements.

i've check a couple of reviews and what's the difference between a main connector 24 pin and 20+4 pin ? I do have a 24 pin connection on the mobo ...

frosty15

24-pin is the new standard, 20+4-pin are compatible with older 20-pin and newer 24 pin header mobo's.

Now i'm stucked between having Fortron 600W or Seasonic 600W or Seasonic 700W ... Fortron is cheaper and cables are sleeved already and could have 700W to reach the price of seasonic 600W who's not sleeved ... but ... seasonic has a better output 18A instead of 15A ... what could be the good choice to make at this time ... ?
