Which psu for this case?

craneop1985 · 04-24-2008, 03:49 AM

I'm getting this case for a new build this summer-but not sure which power supply to put in it.http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16811146025

I plan on needing one between 450-550w with nice amps on 12v rails-something over 17 and I would like it to have blue lighting with it also.
Thanks

What's your budget and what kind of components are you going to use to build this computer?

Either way, check out this Corsair PSU, it's a very capable unit.

Ok here are a few things that will be going into the case-
amd 64 x2-6400+
250 gb sata hard drive
Nvidia 8500 gt video(taken from current system)
memory card reader
dvd burner
I would like to spend less than $75 on it

The aforementioned Corsair would be a great choice for that system.

550W to 600W PSU Should do you fine.

That'll be an over kill as the system uses a very low powered graphics card.

I know it's just probably me-but I'm still wanting something with blue led lighting with the power supply-any help there.

Well in the future if he / she wants to add more hard drives... you would have to buy a BIGGER Watt PSU.
