    Building a computer Part Thrice

    Ok, hopefully, this will be the last time I will need help. These are the power supplies I've been looking at.





    The first is a Corsair 650w, it can be part of a package deal with my mobo, the second 2 are Coolermaster, the first being 600w (cheapest of them all), the last 550w mid priced ($100). The Corsair and second Coolermaster both specify SLI compatibility, the first Coolermaster doesn't say one way or another.

    That said, I'm looking to get most of my gear at Newegg, but there are a couple parts I've found cheaper at Tigerdirect. Has anyone used tigerdirect, are they any good? There are also a few hard to find parts I've come across on a site called http://www.performance-pcs.com, but no one seems to have ever heard of them. Have any of you? Are they reputable?

      Corsair makes the absolute best sub-200 dollar power supplies. Their TX line isnt quite as good as their HX line that I linked you to in the last thread, but still much better than coolermaster. As far as tiger direct goes, theyre ok to order from if youre not getting something with a mail in rebate. They take forever to send out the rebates, if they get to it at all. Ive never used performance-pcs, but theyre rated very high by reseller ratings.

        I'm running a Corsair 520 in my current build and its a beaut. I HIGHLY recommend them. A 620 Corsair would be able to handle just about anything you could throw at it. I have my CPU overclocked 1.1ghz and I have a x1950pro 512mb and it is holding up just fine. I could probably add another video card too if my mobo supported it. Corsair makes VERY high quality PSUs, I'd go with that.

          Yeh, Ive got the 620 in mine. Im a big fan of the modular setup. Inside of the case is so much cleaner without that massive jumble of extra wires.
