Okay I knew I needed a new psu after getting in on the zipzoomfly.com 6800LE deal. I also have an A64 939 system and my case is a Sonata with Truepower 380 watt psu.

I sold it off today and grabbed an Enermax CoolerGiant 480W - EG485P-VE VHB SFMA for the equal of $79 US plus tax. What do you guys think about this psu, I did not have time to do alot of research just did it briefly.

My components are
3500 939
A8V
2x36 GB raptors
EVGA 600 LE
2x256 OCZ PC3500 and 512 dimm of same
benq 822A DVD RW

and now I plan to overclock and add a combo drive on as well. I just did not thin the 380 w psu would have cut it when EVGA recommends a 450 w psu for the card.

lemme hear if what I bought is good enough from the psu pros

It'll work. Enermax makes pretty good PSUs from what I've read. I would have picked up a Fortron 530 though.

I figured I was gonna hear Fortron come uo. However it is not readily available where I live I did not wanna be bothered by the hassle of odering it. I needed a psu stat.

Hoping there is some feedback from people who are psu pro gurus and if this was a decent choice for my gear and most of all , to me the price looked good and was a buying factor

That's understandable.

Like I said, it's not a bad PSU. That 480 watt Enermax is still much better than a crappy brand supposedly 500 watt PSU. It shouldn't spotaneously blow, and kill all of your components. As long as you don't go crazy overclocking with volt modded, phase-change cooled everything, that PSU should run your system fine.

well the enermax seems to give the 6800LE what I need , I found a solid revie on the psu if anyone is interested and at 79 US I think it is a pretty good deal
