Im looking around for a good psu to purchase for my new system, ill probably be ordering next weekend, and a need a decent PS for my system in sig. I probably wont use SLI right now so that isnt much of a priority, but it would be nice to have that feature, I want to spend around $50-$70, no over that, here's what I found so far, any recommendations? FSP Group (Fortron Source) AX450-PN and Antec SmartPower 2.0 SP-500 Are any of these any good, I wont be overclocking this system much, maybe a little but if anyone can tell me if these are any good or can recommend another PSU, it would help alot, THANKS.

Both those PSUs are really good for a mid-range system. However, if your new rig is going to have a powerful Video card or multiple hard drives, you might want to look for something a little more powerful.

You should try this one. It has been proven to be a great PSU for overclockers.

Those are good PSU's, but if you plan on SLI in the future you should get more power.

For your rig.... the PSUs you listed are the minimal requirement.

Also, take a look at this one. Although it's only 430W, it does deliver 31A on the 12V rails. Right now $69.99 and free shipping.

However, with a rig of your specs, I would get something more powerful, although it'll cost more money. The NUUO is a really good PSU, worth it's money.

Well for a system like that i would reccomend this http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16817163109

That's a really good PSU, but I think the Antec Truepower II 550W will do the job just fine at a lower price. It has pretty solid 12V rails with a max load of 12A combined. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16817103931

If you are going to spend more money on it, then I'd recomment the OCZ GameXStream 600W for $139.99 minus $10 mail in rebate:

Or for around the same price as the Silverstone, you can now get a PC Power & Cooling 610W unit with a single 12V rail boasting 49A for $159

If you absolutely can't break budget, then either will serve you well. The Antec has more power, so it'll carry a little more, but the FSP is probably more reliable.

EDIT: This one's a little more, but it will probably serve you better in the long run. They're supposed to be pretty reliable power supplies. Link.
