Default Help choosing psu
I need help chooing a psu for new rig.

C2D E660
ASUS P5N Deluxe
CORSAIR XMS2 1GB 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400)
Geforce 7600GTOC 256MB PCI-E (already own)
Western Digital Caviar SATA 250GB (already own)
Sony DVD/CD Burner (already own)
2X Seagate IDE HDD 120GB

I am not planning to use SLI. I want a psu that is reliable and good for overclocking, but my budget for psu is 75-100.

Generally you would want to spend WAY more than just 75-100 on a PSU.

Never forget, your PSU is what powers your rig and many people forgets this.
If your PSU dies, you have a quite large chance of killing far the most of your components.

Make sure you sandpaper the hole, and then put some U rubber over it to avoid sharp edges. Put some grease around the newly drilled hole, and then screw your computer, screw it hard. Maybe install some UV lights and turn em up to indicate that your computer is also excited.

i totally agree with this statement.

i think you would be better off waiting on 1-2 of those ide drives and get a better psu.

i recommend the pc power cooling 750 watt silencer. i love mine.
