Hey guys, I upgraded by pc recently with 5gb ram and geforce 8800gt. My current 350w cant handle all that + the overclocking. So I'm going to be buying a new power supply. What do you guys think of the Raidmax Volcano 630W?
Its modular which is a big plus imo. Please make suggestions/offer advice as I've never bought a psu. Just got generic ones with my cases.
 
Depends on what you want to spend on your PSU.

I've always found the Antec ones to work very well.

You don't need a 630W PSU, a 500W would be more than enough.
 
Ya i have a Coolermaster 550w Real Power, not modular but i think its decent
 
I've got a Thermaltake 500W (I think it's the Toughpower, not too sure) and it gets the job done :)
 
My vote goes to the Corsair VX450W. It has a longer warranty than most PSU's and it's quiet and stable
 
I have a Thermaltake 550W Toughpower lying around for R500,00 - 110% working condition:

I have it for about a year now - no problem with it - psu 100% unless Eskom pulls the plug:)
