Hey,

Like I said, I am pretty sure the 4pin will work, if you don't want to OC and then wait for payday and get the Odin. :)

Remember that's the Odin's peak power output.Continious power is something like 460w

Unfortunately I don't know huntkey PSU, but I know PCInt has a pretty cool after sales service, so if it breaks or anything, you won't have problems with them. Then again, read this review...

I know it says Green star, but apparently it is exactly the same as the Greenpower.

Which is more than enough for his needs.

What about this one?

Dude the 470W Odin is probably no better than your current PSU. It'll do the job though, at least it has the right connector, and a guarantee.
 
Ja, if you are not planning on upgrading the PSU after payday or in a couple of months time, rather get a good one now.
 
lol i know! Their site isn't fully functional yet.. Like 5 months now.. Kinda sad... I just emailed them for their price list.. They only a walk in shop, they not an eSeller AFAIK
 
Understandable but it's cost effective and it has 2x 4 pin that im looking for :p
 
lol @ your sig :( sorry

Okay scrap the odin then. The gaia does look alright aswell. not too expensive
 
Yeah, it's 80+, the pic shows that it is modular and the price is nice. :p

Hehehe, don't be sorry dude, should have my stuff by tomorrow. I'm only missing 2 night of CODMW2. ;(

Their address is in the picture.. it's quite close to esquire. If you coming from pta, you take the exit after samrand ave, left, then right into old pta road, then right at the robots and next left, then look for the business park..

Cool, thanx. I moved here from RTB about 2 years ago, so street names mean nothing for me. :) But I do know where esquire is.
 
Get a Corsair VX450, it's only a bit more than the others. It's good for around 550W @ 80%+ efficiency, has the 8-pin connector and a 5 year warranty.

If we could summarize this power supply in just one word it would be “wow!”. Together with Antec EarthWatts 500 W this is the best power supply up to 500 W we have ever seen, bringing the best cost/benefit ratio for the average user building a mainstream PC with a good video card, graduating Summa Cum Laude in our tests. You will bring home a relatively inexpensive power supply that even though is sold as being a 450 W unit can deliver up to 570 W at 48º C – in fact Corsair could have easily labeled this power supply as a 500 W unit, but they preferred to stay on the safe side.

Not bad at all,I was trying to imply that it will suit his needs but the power supply isn't trustwothy
wrt effiency rating.I would rather take out a couple of bucks extra and get a Vantec ION +2 460w....
 
Everyone always tries to upsell people on hardware, I know you should get the best you can afford, but it's just always interesting to see!

Well the OP suggested the OCZ 500W (R744), which isn't a bad choice at all. My personal preference would be the Corsair though (R769, also from Zaps i.e. R25 more).
The OCZ PSU is modular though.
 
the IkonicIT guy came back to me and said those Gaia PSU are being discontinued.

"The Ikonic range of power supplies is being phased out to quality issues
The only power supplies we can get here by tomorrow would be cooler master and OCZ"
:/
I would really like to keep it under* R600 if possible.
