Question Power supply help
I need help picking out a PSU. I want one that will push just about any vidio card, but do not ever intend on going to SLI or Crossfire. Don't really care if it is 24 or 20+4. Would prefere modular, but does not have to be. Don't want to spend a fortune, because I know how important it is. But not made of money. Please help

Ive used an Antec SmartPower 500W psu on a amd build with a XFX 7900GT, AMD Athlon 3800+, Asus A8N-E, 2 dvd burners, 3 led fans, and a 250GB hdd and it ran flawlessly, it is a GREAT budget psu in my opinion, plus it's modular too.

well you need to specify a price range. you can get a sunbeam nuuo 550w psu for about $85, but for about $150 you can't beat the Seasonic S12-600. It's rock stable no matter what and is silent too. (I've got both so I'm speaking from personal experience) I'm selling my fully sleeved S12-600 so I can get the same one sleeved black... yeah I know I decided to be lazy this time around

The Nuuo is a good PSU as is the Hiper Type R modular.

The one I am selling in my sig is a great PSU. Ask around and read reviews you can't go wrong it has less than months worth of use.
