100 more watts for 100 more bucks??

[cack01]

Well my psu finally died. I'm looking at getting eighter a enermax 450W or 530W. Look at my sig to see what i will be powering. The water cooler is also runs off the PSU. My question is do I need a 530W to power this, I did have a 350W Generic brand. Yup I don't know how it powered my stuff but it did (Although stability was never really present at 1.2 Ghz). SO just let me know if you think the 450 is good enough, b/c the 530W is over $100 more ($179.99)

thanks for your input.

The 450 is more than enough to power what you've got. Before neatening up and adding a second PSU, I was powering a 1.3Tbird, 15 fans, 6HDs and 2 CDs, water pump and external fan with the Enermax, with absolutely no power issues.

Yeah, 450s are good unless you are going to be running a massive amount of stuff. Most of us aren't so it becomes unneccesary. If you really need more power, just get 2 450s for less than a 530.
