Nice to see this site up and running again. But just a Quick pic for PSU or feel free to submit a choice I like no nonsense good deal kinda stuff.

The labeling for OCZ connectors is incorrect it's really:
1 x Main connector (20+4Pin)
1 x 12V(4Pin)
2 x peripheral
3 x SATA
1 x Floppy
2 x PCI-E 6+2pin
And the rebate looks like real pain in the asterisk!
My specs are
Amd athlon 64 3500+ at 2.21Ghz
2x 1Gb rams
2 HDDs
2 DVD-RW

If it were me........ I would not consider any of those..... I would aim higher....... at least a 750watt.
See what others recomend here....

I would have to agree with Mel on going higher.
Minimum of 600+ would work fine, but would recommend the 750w.

Negative.
A 500W quality PSU will do fine... higher wattage will however, give you more upgrade-ability and bragging rights.
Choose a quality PSU manufacturer such as PC Power and Cooling, Seasonic, Tagan, Corsair, OCZ, or FSP.

| Thanks you guys I tried a couple watt calculators and got jer around in the results. But I decided to go with 650w Corsair, I think a good mix of quality and quantity is best. I mean you don't want run the pee out of your PSU even if its a good one. But I think 650w should do the trick and as far as upgrades there isn't much more I can do. |
