I would recomend a Corsair 750, preferably an HX or AX series model, very efficient,quiet and alot of amps on the 12v rail. And Corsair has great customer service =)

Any solid 600W PSU (or higher) would be plenty, check the Recommended Power Supplies thread.

I was thinking about buying the Corsair - Enthusiast TX850 V2 - 850 Watt smile.gif but this will be too much? And is the TX not quiet? I want a quiet psu if possible.

Found this psu for 99€ aka 120$, and i rlly want enough power for my 4 HDD's, 2 SSD's and 6 casefans

Far more than you need, and you can do better (quality and performance wise) at that kind of money.

Where are you buying from?... is mindfactory.de ok?.. or zercom in Holland?

Not that much on offer there.

I suggest you go with this, it's quieter than the TXv2, it's modular, it's more efficiency and still considerably more than you need. It's a very good Enhance made unit.

edit:
but really, if you can buy from a different shop you should, at ~100 euros you can get a high end unit for that system.
