I am looking to power this setup:

Intel C2Q Q6700
EVGA 680I SLI mobo
4x1 GB DDR2 800
Nvidia 8400 GS
1x DVD+/-RW
1x 7200RPM HDD
3x 120mm LED/1x140mm LED/cpu cooler fans

I would like to be able to upgrade the video card in the future and maybe add a dedicated sound card.
With the upgrades included, eXtreme PSU calculator shows 330W minimum, 380W recommended.
After some research, I put together this list on Newegg. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...17-104-953-S01
I am looking for a reliable, efficient, and stable PSU that won't break the bank, or blow up.

If anyone knows of a good deal somewhere other than Newegg....

Look around for an OCZ StealthXstream 400W - it's pretty much the best ~400W PSU out there.

Amazon might have it, but I'm not American so I have absolutely no idea where to look.

You don't need anywhere near 380W though.

Corsair 400W

Corsair CX400, VX450, or the OCZ Stealth/ModXstream 400w units.
The $48.99 seasonic in your list is also a good one.

Thanks for the suggestions on the OCZ PSUs. All the reviews seem to be very positive for the 400W models. Not so for the 500W+ models. Apparently, they are totally different designs.

Any opinions on that Tuniq that is in my list?

Also, I just stumbled across this little gem for $50 shipped - Rosewill Green Series RG630-S12 630W
I know Rosewill doesn't have a solid track record like some of the other brands, but the one review on HardwareSecrets. This kinda sorta fits every criteria I have, except it's a Rosewill, and it has a 2 year warranty instead of 3. Hmmm?

I will look into that one. Good to know that is the same as the Seasonic, but it has sleeved wires. Nice!

yah, too bad you're looking for BNIB
anyways, if I were in your shoes I would pick up any of the neo eco series psu from antec
all of them are quiet reliable, sleeved, plus really silent

i mean the psu is really silent ^^
