Default Advice needed - Which PSU?
Okay, have a mate who bought a 7900 GTO but is getting a black screen after playing for about 5 minutes and when cranking the graphics up a heap. After checking his PSU it is obvious he doesn't have enough Amps on the 12v rail to support his 7900 GTO.

So now he is looking at a new PSU. Which of these two would you guys go for?

Definitely the Enermax. It is more quiet, more efficient, more expensive and worth it. Get it and he's good to go...

Well, that one has an odd way of spliting up the 12+v rails. The FSP Group I recommend, while not a lot of cash, will last a very long time.

Agreed Go with the FSP. It's well worth it

I prefer the Seasonics

My S12 has been flawless. But, then again, the Enermax was a nice quiet supply.
