OCZ Modstream 450 watt's enough

[Shadowfactor]

Im thinking about getting a Modstream 450 watt psu....

Will the 450 watt Modstream be enough power to run
My sig ( 7800 GTX is a 256 mb model) ( the Raptors are 36 Gb)
Handle My OC's
1 40 gig HDD
1 dvd player
1 Cd-burner..
Like 10 case fans on 5 or 7 Volts and maybe 2 on 12 Volts ??
Would I have any problems ??


SIG:I have a Opteron 165, a DFI LP UT SLI-DR, 7800 gtx 256 mb, Corsair Version 1.1 CL2 Pc3200 Bh-5 sticks ( Im getting G.skill TCCD next week.... there in the mail.) 2 WDC raptors in Raid 0.....

That's a fairly decent build (looking at the thirsty 7800). The Powerstream range are more recommended with the OCZ520 being the top one to aim for if you can cover it (and considering the other parts you prob dont have a problem in that area :)

Ehh I Really got lucky this year to get all that new stuff.....
I was Stuck on a 3000+ for about a Year......

SO the ModStream 450 Watt wont be enough for my system , is that what your saying

I Want Modular Cables So If the 450 Watt wont be enough then I guess Im getting a Enermax Liberty 500 or a OCZ 520 watt , Although I really dont have the Money.....

I you have your heart set on modular cables make sure they plug into a real power supply. I'd recommend one of the new Antec NeoHE series, like the 550. Most modular power supplies are modular crap.

i have a similar setup to you and i have big problems when i overclock my opty to 2600 and play games. it is stable at 2600 when the 7800gt is not running.

i ended up having to buy a higher rated power supply.

Ok so the 3 choices that I have are

OCZ MODstream 520 watt

Enermax Liberty 500 Watt ( are the Cables Sleeved ?? )

Antec NEO HE 500

which one do you vote

Im thinking Modstream 520,......

[Know Nuttin]

Antec Neo HE.
Then the Enermax Liberty
Then the OCZ.

That's just my personal ranking.

thanks for the help everyone!
I just ordered a OCZ modstream 520 from Monarch , They have a 10 Dollar mail in rebate and one of the cheapest prices... It was 103.56 or something like that for the PSU and 2nd day fedex...

You'd have been a whole lot better off spending the same on the Antec NeoHE 500 I recommended, but here's to hoping you are luckier than I.
