PSU Recommendation please..

[DaveB]

Hi Guy's

Went to turn the 'newest' pc on this morning and nowt happened. Pwr is getting to the psu bit it would appear to be going no further. The system turned itself off earlier in the week leaving me a bit suspicious and yesterday, it didn't seem keen on firing up so I guess the PSU has given up the ghost.

Can anyone recommend a suitable replacement that won't equal the cost of the national debt of an average sized African nation??

Currently running 2 sata drives, dvd recorder, Intel E6600 and an ATI HD2700XT. The ATI will soon be replaced by an nvidia 8800GT and I may up the CPU to 3ghz if Santa is good to me

EDIT..
Overclockers have this on offer at the mo. When it came out, it was around the £98 mark Any good d'ya think

Hi Dave,

I've had a Corsair HX620 for some time now and have no complaints.

I'd bump it up mate...look for a 750 minimum

My opinion......

Tks for that Guy's

Seems the HX series are a little more pricey.. 650/£96.99 750/£114.99 850/£134.99.. TX 750/£95.99 850/£106. I'll see what happens when I've had a beer later and lapsed into 'weak' mode

Dave I am thinking of changing my 550w PSU due to COD freezing tonight I think my set up needs more oomph.. anyway had good reports of these and this is what I will be plumping for, not bad prices as well

750Watt

800Watt

Blimey.. under £50 for an 800w PSU Can anything this cheap be any good mate?? If it is.. the price is certainly more in my bracket

The amps etc tick all the boxes and hunting around the forums seems it gets good words...

[DaveB]

OK mate. Well.. I'm cheap so I'll nip back to that link and add to basket. Might spend what I've saved on another gig of Crucial ballistix. Tks for the HU

Great Dave let me know what you think of it

... IF I get there mate Just before hitting the button, I thought I'd do a review search and all bar one comment I read from a chap who's had half a dozen of this make, the rest were saying 'What PSU are you using.. go for a Corsair, Antec e t c' I think Overclockers used to sell them but now don't which is a little unnerving Being a decent chap, I said to the missus last night.. 'My pwr supply has failed and I need to get a new one. Should I go for one at around £50 or for a known brand which is double the price?'. She said..'Go for the known brand.. it'll probably end up being your christmas present!'
I won't print what my reply was
