If you can spend a bit more perhaps this, I use the same PSU with X1800XT 256, 320GB sata2 drive , 2GB DDR, x2 3800 @ 2.6, dvdrw and 120 case fan with arctic freezer on cpu. never had an issue and it is quiet with solid rails but it is gonna cost $80 shipped

If you are on a real budget just grab the Thermaltake for now you can not go wrong at the end price shipped of 30. its got warranty and will run what you have

does anyone agree with this guy? cuz ive never used anything besides fortron and antec. I might be able to spend a little more, i dunno. Im leaning towards the bluestorm now lol which is like 89.

i would take the ENERMAX Noisetaker over thermaltake one. im using a ocz 450watt modstream with my x1800xt 512 works fine, that psu cost 80.00 but has a 20 mail in rebate on newegg

You need the 512mb if you have a high resolution monitor.

ive got an hp pavilion mx75 17inch monitor, max res is 1280x1024. Do i still need the 512 because i dont feel i need a new monitor, lmk if im wrong tho lol.

Very good PSU and extremely overlooked. I may well use this exact PSU for my future conroe build. Compare the 3.3v, 5v and both 12v rails against other psu's if in any doubt. For such a cheap PSU it is very good (and beats the hell out of the antec neo stuff).

Plus it has modular cabling, what more could you want! :)
