enermax liberty 500. It's sli too and is very efficient. I'm monitoring it's use with a power usage meter and it hold's up to it's specs running my system in sli and burning anywhere between 350 up to 470 watts at the height of gaming. It's efficiency rating is correct too. My meter shows it consistently with a PF rating of .98 to .99 (very good). It can handle the load, I've had mine for 6 months, no problems.

Fortron 500W Blue Storm , would give you a bit of headroom you need for gfx, a great psu & good value.

Enermax Liberty 400-500w or Antec Neo HE 430 and higher.

suggest you use this link to narrow down your choice jonny Guru.com - list of recommendations

 

[fireandice]

is the thermaltake purepower w0120 500w deacent?

 

[Know Nuttin]

Decent but not great.

Why are you not considering the Enermax Liberty?

Another vote for the Fortron AX500-A 500W PSU. I have this one in my main machine, and the 400W in another rig, and both perform great.

i may get the 400watt Enermax Liberty the outher ones are just to much. i dont have much money for a new psu.

 

[kimochii72]

That should work, check the amps on the rail(s). If you go SLI it will probably not be sufficient. Most systems will not hit 400 watts unless you have dual core or SLI running at load.

Lol that's why ppps are recommending the Fortron 500W Blue Storm which is a good unit & offers the best bang per buck.
