Default Could somone recomend a power supply?
hi guys, i currently have a 400w thermaltake psu that came with my tt case, i want to go to a 650W because i am going to be sli-ing soon, i have 7950gt vid card right now, and you can pretty much see my entire system below, i was thinking of going with the thermaltake toughpower 650W psu, but its a little pricy about $140, could you guys recomend one that will last a long time for a better price? i need it to be sli ready, with a 8 pin motherboard power connecteor too, not a 4 pin. and ofcourse sata ready too. thanx

If you have the moola, then a PSU from PC P&C is my recommendation.

Get the OCZ GameXStream 700W, SeaSonic M12 700W Modular, or PC Power & Cooling Silencer 750W.

I'd get the SeaSonic myself, because it's Modular but that's just me. The best Power Supply there is the PCP&C, and the OCZ is the best Performance:Price wise.

That 600W will handle anything you have or plan to have. If you are looking for something more then be prepared to pay the price

Seasonic 700 would be my first choice followed by Pc Power 750. I know everyone likes OCZ but I stick with the longtime PSU makers...
