short opportunity: answer fast: antec truepower550/truecontrol550

Is this TruePower True550 ATX PSU good for hard overclocking and stuff? is this a general high quality PSU? See my comp specs in sig. I need a PSU with high stability for overclocking

Also should i get the TruePower550 or the TrueControl550?

Please answer fast because my opportunity to buy this locally instead of online is running out fast(few hours)

either one will do great. Just if you want/need to control the voltages then get the true control. I would just get the truepower personally, but it depends if you want that ability.

The Fortron 520W is only $74 on newegg.

Either antec should be good too.

I dont see newegg selling fortron psu's let alone the 520 watt version. The 460 and 550 watt versions of the fortrons from what i see have a low 3.3 and 5v rail but very strong 12v rail designed for entry level server systems thus probably not a really good match with what overclockers systems need. If i had to choose between the two antec true psu's I would go TrueControle550 for sure if the price isnt a problem.
