Big PSU

[marine1]

Hello gents and ladies,
I am looking for a good 850 watt PSU locally. Any idea where to get one for a decent price?
Thanks
Is this any good?

850 watt?
That not overkill?

I'm sure the PSU is fine, but seems a bit over priced though - IC usually is - if you know someone who can buy from Rectron, you can get the same one for R1739 incl.

Try Sybaritic, Cyberdyne or PC International too. Sybaritic has it and others:
Gigabyte Odin GT GE-S800A-D1 Power Supply - 800WAOpen AO700 Power Supply - 700W
Cooler Master Real Power Pro RS-850-EMBA Power Supply - 850W

...or if you want a really BIG unit, try:
Thermaltake W0171 ToughPower - 1500W

I dont think so, running 3870x2 graphics, Quad core 9300, 2 gig DDR3 1066 Ram and about 2T hard drives

I suspect something like a quality 700W would be able to handle that

Hmm ok then thanks. I will look around.

i think even a quality 550w would run that

i run a 9800gx2 with 4 gig mem q9300 plus 3 hdd's on a 550w so i doubt you need a 850w

Really? No ways. I am running a 550 now but I just thought it would not be enough. How do you tell if it is? Is there some kind of program to check?
Thanks guys

That sounds reasonable.

I have the ANTEC NEO HE 500 watt- sorry not the 550

 

[killadoob]

does it run everything?

I think it should be fine (but don't hold me to this)

I'd buy something like a quality 700W myself (just to be on the safe side) and it'll give you room for future expansion of your PC
