btw i found this.. http://www.newegg.com/Product/CustRatingRe...N82E16817159056 i plan on getting a 7900 gt card later and it was a combo with it. any good?
You mean this one? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?...N82E16817151024 If so, I'd go for the Antec for 80 which is about equally strong...
No, it's not. Seasonics are some of the most efficient and most stable PSUs on the market. The 500W Seasonic is much better than the Antec TruePower 550W.
I heave heard good things about seasonic PSUs myself, they ae quite good. PSUs though are nto a particular area of specialty for myself. I've heard good things about Antec, enermax, epower/tagan and a few others though... I've also heard that ultra, hiper, and rosewell make ----ty products, they overrate their PSUs, a "400W" epower PSU will likely put out more juice than a "600W" rosewell PSU for the record I have the 550W antec TPII PSU, it's quite good though I wouldn't count on it to run two high end cards in SLI/x-Fire(as in x1900XTX or 78/7900GX) atleast not reliably... though there is no reason to even need two IMO when a ginel one is more than sufficient(it should run two 7600s easily though and they outperform a 7900GTX) for the record, right now an x1800XT looks liek a better deal than the 7900GT...
The PSU is one of the most vital and often-overlooked components in a PC. A cheap PSU can lower the performance or even damage other components. If you're going to spend money on a PC, make sure you get a good motherboard, good RAM, and a good PSU.
I know that... Antec is a good one...it will be good enough IMO but if more people think otherwize, go with the majority (majority of people who know what they are saying)
ahh... the hiper 300W psu sold to OEMs is not... also, most people don't OC THAT much, after a certain point it's kind of pointless... costs about as much to OC as it does to buy a standard system twice... IMO OCing is about bang/$ not who has the biggest penis...
