Hello.
I am looking for a decent PSU for my system.
My system looks as follows:
* Intel Core 2 Duo E8400 OR Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 OR Q6700 (A lot to think about xD)
* GigaByte GA-P35-DS3L, P35 (ATX, PCI-E, Sound, LAN, SATA II)
* Xfx GeForce 8800 GTX 768Mb Ddr3 Xt Pci-E Dual-Dvi Hdtv Out
* Kingston 4GB DDR2 (2x2GB) PC6400 800Mhz CL5 Dual Channel Kit
* Samsung SHS202N/BEBN 20x (Dual Layer, Black, Lightscribe) OEM
* Samsung Spinpoint F1 HD753LJ, 750GB SATA-300, 32MB, 7200rpm
* Arctic Cooling Freezer 7 Pro (Socket 775)
* Probably a quite good 22 inch widescreen monitor
* Probably a 590 Cooler Master casing with some fans
My budget tops out around 85 euro's (130 dollars) but I can squeeze out some more if necessary.
I have come up with 2 PSU's so far:
Cooler Master Real Power M520 (59,95 euro's) and the Corsair VX550W (71,95 euro's)
I would love to get some advice from experts. Are these PSU's even strong enough for the system, would you recommend an entirely different PSU, etc.
Someone from a different forum recommended the quite expensive CORSAIR CMPSU-620HX ATX12V v2.2. Is that overkill or just needed?
Note: I am not going SLI in the future by the looks of it.
