Will this work?

[mtnboydl]

Here is my proposed build...all of this after the price drop...

E6600 (maybe a 6750)
WD 250GB HD
G. Skill 2GB PC6400
Gigabyte P35 Mobo
NEC DVD burner
EVGA 8800gts 320mb

Will this power supply work? I don't plan on doing much in the realm of overclocking.

I don't want to go too cheap, but I am on a budget. Also, recommendations on inexpensive cases would be great. Do they usually come with fans? The only requirement I have for the case is that it isn't beige.

Thanks all!

Get a Corsair, Forton, or Enermax. May have missed some but those offer good quality power supplies for a great bang for the buck. Make to spend at least $80 on a good quality power supply!

I spent $80 on my power supply and its only 400 watts but powering all of this just fine. Even thinking of getting a GTX or Ultra in the future maybe or the next generation nvidia video card. It should run one fine even on this power supply. Though I doubt SLI but I have no use for two video cards because my motherboard doesn't support it so I would need to buy a whole new motherboard and I don't think I am going to do that anytime soon.

Hitachi 500 gig 7200 rpm ide hard drive

pci tv tuner card
Four 80mm case fans

Enermax 400 watt Liberty power supply


JavaMomma offered this great link in a thread that is a recent review of the Fortron Zen 400 watt power supply. Its a very high quality but expensive 400 watt power supply. Though you get what you pay for. It ran amazingly Core 2 Duo E6600 and two Geforce 8800 GTS in SLI just fine. When they overclocked the CPU to 3.2Ghz with more vcore and also both Geforce 8800 GTS cards at 600 (GPU) 1000 (MEM) in SLI it still ran fine even though total power draw was now 400 watts but still it ran fine! Which is incredible! I wouldn't even think a system like that even not overclocked would boot up on even a very high quality 400 watt power supply but it did. Te thing that amazes me most is that it uses SLI and still works fine. I bet if you didn't overclock the cpu or at least not the video cards but only the cpu you could easily run a SLI GTX or Ultra video card setup on it as well. Now there is no way i expect my Enermax 400 watt to be able to do this because I only paid $80 and it doesn't have quite as much power as this one but the Fortron Zen 400 watt power supply is almost twice as much. I really don't need it because I am never going to do SLI. To much trouble.

Just wondering why anyone would be shopping at TigerDirect? When the same PSU is available for the same AR price at the Egg... Jonnyguru recently tested a Rosewill which is also made by ATNG as Coolmax is. It tested well, but no guarantee that all ATNG would test as well. As suggested by others, there are brands that have proven reliable over the years - always good to choose from one of those.

Never skimp on the PSU. If you are putting that kind of hardware in your PC I wouldn't want to trust it to that PSU. At the very least get the Enhance ENP-5150GH from ewiz for $67 (through froogle) - it is a known good PSU.

Have you used google checkout before? If not, go with this PSU instead. If you haven't used google checkout then it's $80AR, which is pretty close to the $72 (including shipping) for the Fortron. And it's a better PSU.

I'm looking at that one and it is 90. Is that the correct link?
