I was looking at a OCZ Powerstream 520W PSU for my new conroe build. Will this be a good enough PSU for my build??? It has a adjustable voltage thing, which can be change 3.3, 5, or 12V. I hope this is good enough, because I might get a really good deal. Well thanks for helping.

I also found this Antec PSU. Would this be better or would the OCZ one be better??

I have one and it's great, I think right now it's the only OCZ PSU that I'd consider for myself, I won't ever use a modular nor multiple rail PSU.

Anyhow, I've never bothered with the RAILs knob to adjust them or anything, they're always in green which means the RAILs are within range.

Few things:

First off: What else are you putting in your system? Telling us the CPU is only one component, and there are other components that use power too. Therefore, it might or might not be adaquate.

Second: I don't think it's "adjustable" like that, meaning that you don't adjust between 3.3V, 5V and 12V.

Last: What price are you considering a good deal?

I plan to use the P5B Deluxe mobo, E6300, the 2GB of memory i have in my sig, one PCI Xpress gfx card, a DVD-RW, and two sata hdd's in raid 0.

And about $60-70 shipped.

I also found a Antec 550EPS12V one, which one would be better??? The Antec is 550W.

The Antec is garbage compared to the PowerStream 520W..........but that PSU you're seeing for sale, is it the one with the blue led fan or green? The blue one is the newest version supporting SLI and the green is not but.....good nonetheless.
