Power Supply

Im looking at getting a new PS b/c my Cooler Master 380 WAtt can't power my entire system.

I thought about a 480 Watt ANTEC NeoPower with removable cables. Any other suggestions?

that one doesn't look so good...less power than the antec one..and it got some bad reviews

PCP&C's website says that modular cables increase resistance and resistance = heat. Fortron are good PSUs and the fan issue is not very widespread. Antec, from my experience, are expensive for what you get.

Antec Neo...Good Choice

Hey i definatly reccommend the neo power psu its amazing i have no problems running my comp with it and check out the stats i was told by a few to go up more in wattage but i find i have no problems at all and a good friend of mine has had the same power supply for a while and he as well said its one of the best power supplies ever but that is of course saying your not going into sli or crossfire

thanks guys....

i decided to go with the NeoPower. I installed it today, and my PC works better than ever. I may need to add a second exhaust fan, however.

yeah but you're getting less amps for more watts. And Antec makes very nice psu, and you do get quality for what you pay for. You get a 20+4pin connector so he has room for upgrade and it has a longer holdup time and better effiiciency.
