need a power supply

zeppelin03 · 08-09-2007, 05:08 PM

Im buying a few parts for a computer and am wondering what power supply i would need. I'm not sure which would be compatable for all the parts. I want to spend as little as possible but still have a quality psu. The parts im looking into are as follows.

GIGABYTE GA-965P-DS3 LGA 775 Intel P965 Express ATX Intel Motherboard - Retail

Intel Core 2 Duo E6750 Conroe 2.66GHz 4M shared L2 Cache LGA 775 Processor - Retail

EVGA 320-P2-N811-AR GeForce 8800GTS 320MB 320-bit GDDR3 PCI Express x16 HDCP Ready SLI Supported Video Card - Retail

WINTEC AMPO 2GB (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 667 (PC2 5300) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory - Retail

Any help relating to a psu would be appreciated.

I've looked but im not sure the watts im going to need for these parts thats why I included them.

I reckon any decent 500W psu, with good 12V rails will be sufficient. But just to be on the safe side you might as well get a decent 600W.

How mich do you want to spend?

Im not sure exactly. maybe around $50 if possible. Im not looking to overclock or anything really.

I bet because it looks nice.

That should run your rig perfectly, but i'm no psu expert. I'm just advising as to what i would do..... i would check with Ceewi1 before you go and buy anything.

The X-Finity 500W will certainly suffice, albeit without an enormous amount of upgrade room. You might also want to consider the Antec Trio 550W (superb value with the discount), or EA500 (IMO better value still, but currently sold out for delivery). The X-Finity 600W EE is also a nice step up.
