Recommend me a PSU

[blurblock]

Im changing my 7600GT to a 8800GTS 320MB soon . (Question 1 can my mobo support this GFX its has a PCi 16x . Is there any chips or what ever that maybe block the GFX when installing? Im using a mid Tower )

Time for a new PSU .

I'm looking at

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817171014

On my Case there is a Digital Display which i usually dont use but it will have blue Light . Planning to get 3 80mm LED/ 2 120mm LED CoolerMaster.

And maybe getting another Hard Disk 300GB - 500GB .

( Question2 Just wondering if the PSU will be able to server me well . )

( Question 3 Is the GFX and my System( Maybe getting a 226bw/cw ) able to do WideScreen gaming @ 1680 x 1050 resoultion Maybe Dirt at High settings ? )

I love my corsair 520 http://www.buy.com/prod/corsair-520w-sli-certified-modular-atx-power-supply/q/loc/101/203270716.html for 100 bucks... the 226bw is a sick monitor and if you have an 8800GTS you should have no problem gaming on it. Go western digital with your hard drive I have like 6 of them (3 internal 3 external) spread across my house and they're great products.

For that price i would highly recommend the Corsair 520w like cheburns suggested or OCZ GameXStream but those are a little more i think.. if you had only about $50-70 to spend the Ultra PSU's off tigerdirect are good.
With the 8800 320mb you may be able to max it out on that res but the Vram will hurt or cause lag at high resolutions but not with the 640mb which is $100 more.

The price here in Singapore is abit diff

Corsair HX520W Modular PSU 5 Yrs.......SGD249 USD166
CoolerMaster Extreme 650W 12cm Fan 3Yrs...SGD119 USD79

Price wise i think i'll get the CoolerMaster is much cheaper here .
So i'll stick to CoolerMaster provided it can work on my system .

Which 22" is better ? Actually I'm a Samsung LCD monitor Promoter .
I'm waiting for the new 226CW hopefully can get some feedback from customer in 3 mths time .

Anyone got any idea which 22" is worth buying ? Less then USD333 if possible .

Oh i see now, for PSU's CoolerMaster wouldn't be my brand of choice but it should be ok...

any reason for that ? I'm using the CoolerMaster extreme power 430w its working fine .

 

[ThatGuy16]

Thanks read that afew times . I'm going to Sim Lim Square its Singapore largest IT shopping Mall . You can find almost anything related to IT there . I guess that the only place to get the best deal in Singapore .

The eXtreme Power 430Ws are definitely very good budget units - I've used a few myself, and they hold up well. The 650W is based on a Seventeam ST-500BKV - a 500W PSU. From what I can tell, they've made few modifications to the design, and I wouldn't trust it to output more than the 500W with +12V@30A that Seventeam rate it for.

That said it's still sufficient for your system, but don't think you're getting any more than a 500W PSU, albeit a reasonably solid one. Do you have a list of products you can choose from?

 

[blurblock]

Recommend me afew of those that you think its suitable and worth buying . i'll let you know if i can find them in Singapore

You can take a look at my list in http://www.computerforum.com/90117-ceewi1s-psu-recommendations.html. The Ultra X-Finity 500W or better would suffice, but I'd recommend looking in the $70-$110 category if possible.
