Hey guys, about to buy an all new rig, looking for some advice. Hope this is the right sub-forum for PSUs, didn't see one.
I want a modular PSU around 500W, beyond that my main concerns are noise levels and quality. I think I've narrowed it down to one of these two, though I am open to any suggestions:
ENERMAX Liberty ELT500AWT ATX12V 500W Power Supply - Retail
or
CORSAIR HX520w ATX12V v2.2 and EPS12V 2.91 520W Power Supply - Retail
I don't plan on OCing or SLI, I just want to put my computer together and have it run quietly.
Here's the rest of my planned rig. Maybe I don't even need 500W, though this is a gaming rig.
Antec Performance I P180B
ASUS P5B-E (Actually still undecided on this, but it's what's on my wishlist at the moment)
eVGA 512-P2-N635-AR GeForce 7950GT 512MB GDDR3
Intel Core 2 Duo E6600 Conroe 2.4GHz
CORSAIR XMS2 2GB (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory Model TWIN2X2048-6400
Seagate Barracuda 7200.9 80GB 7200 RPM SATA 3.0Gb/s Hard Drive
Seagate Barracuda 7200.10 320GB 7200 RPM 16MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s Hard Drive
SAMSUNG 18X DVD±R DVD Burner With 12X DVD-RAM Write Black E-IDE/ATAPI Model SH-S182D
Many thanks in advance.
