450W

Reliability in a smaller budget form....

Would this run an E4500 or E6750 and an 8600GTS?

Thanks

All of that and a fair bit more. It's expensive for a 450W PSU, but it's also one of the best 450W units you'll see. The primary caps are 105C rated Hitachis and the secondary are top notch Nippon Chemi-Cons, certainly not what you'll usually see in a "value" PSU. It also puts out every bit as much power as a lot of 500W units. Definitely not a bad investment for someone not contemplating dual video card setups.

the 520 is only 100 bucks and a few weeks ago it had a MIR i think which made it 90 or 80 so its almost like you'd go with that anyways... unless 450 was definitely enough for your system... they should have made it 10 bucks cheaper.

I have a 520W myself, I am looking for someone else... Anyway, the 520W has been great so far. Funny thing, ppl complain about the 520W overheating, MAYBE IT HAS SOME POWER GOING THROUGH IT UNLIKE OTHERS, I have a P180 and that PSU stays cooler than my old Turbolink(CRAP!!) PSU and it had 2 80MM fans.
