and some pioneer or nec dvd burner.


so how much power will I need? but my main concern is to make sure the psu outputs stable voltage --> longer life of components.
I found these what do you think?

why is it so expensive? seems overpriced.

I's go with the XClio PSU in this case.

 

[DrCuddles]

Go with the XClio PSU, this one should work

 

[Kornowski]

I've just looked at the specs of that XClio PSU and it has a combined 12v rail of 33A and it's a 500watt.

My 380watt Antec has a combines 12v rail of 34A, what's up with that?

 

[Froboy7391_99]

33A is good enough

 

[Kornowski]

I just don't get why a 500watt PSU has less Amps than a 380watt.

 

[ceewi1]

The Antec EA380 provides a total of +12V@27A. 34A is impossible out of a 380W PSU - 12*34 = 408 > 380.

XClio does not release a total +12V rating on this PSU.

Your system will not draw that much power, and any of the PSUs you've mentioned will be more than sufficient for the system, and quite a few upgrades.

+12V1@17A,+12V2@17A

Isn't that 34A? 17 + 17?

 

[INTELCRAZY]

Go Antec or as you guys have said, I like the Xclio PSU's, I didn't see any that were SLI certified

 

[ceewi1]

Isn't that 34A? 17 + 17?

Dual rails are very rarely truly additive. It's quite rare for two 17A rails to actually make 34A. You can often find a total spec for the +12V rails on the manufacturer's website/product manual/specs on the side of the PSU.

Go Antec or as you guys have said, I like the Xclio PSU's, I didn't see any that were SLI certified

The XClio unit that he's linked to is SLI certified, as are all of their higher end models.
