Don't know where your best deal will be.
44A on single 12v rail leaves plenty for headroom even with a future gpu upgrade. Seasonic's platform. 5yr warranty.

EDIT:If 52 is too much - SCAN has Antec Neo Eco 520w 40A single rail for 48.

Sorry im UK £50 not $$

 

[Benny Boy]

CCL & SCAN are UK, yes?
The Newegg link was just becasue you can see the specs better there, or the manufr's site

 

[SuperDuperMe]

ahh didnt even notice Ill look into it. What would be better that or a cx600? theyre both roughly same price.

 

[Benny Boy]

The XFX 550. Better built/components, higher efficiency, more 12v amps, better warranty.

 

[WeatherMan]

Okay then.


I used to have a 450w Modular PowerCool, I don't know the variant you were looking at, but mine had 14A & 12A on the 12v rails, which was pathetic, and gave me problems with my 9800GTX+. (141w TDP)

For my new rig that'll be put together soon, I ordered a OCZ 550w ZT (Modular)

Cost me £57 delivered from dabs, and has a single 45A 12v rail.

Would this do my rig?

Yes that would be fine.

[SuperDuperMe]

Sigged.

 

[SuperDuperMe]

I got the ocz zs 550 watts. It was all i could afford, should be here in a few days. Hopefully, when my hx620 blew up it didnt take anything else with it.

 

[WeatherMan]

Is that the ZS? That's not modular is it?

 

[SuperDuperMe]

No but i dont mind. Its all i could afford.
