I'm building a budget desktop soon, and have two PSUs in mind right now. Which would you pick and why?
OCZ Fatal1ty OCZ550FTY 550W (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817341022)
Antec BP550 Plus 550W Continuous Power (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817371016)
This is the build it will be powering:
CPU: AMD Phenom II X3 720
MOBO: BIOSTAR TFORCE TA790GX
Cooler: Sunbeam CR-CCTF92-4 92mm
RAM: Corsair 4 GB (2 x 2 GB) DDR2 800
GPU: Sapphire Radeon HD 4850 512MB
HD: Western Digital 320GB 7200rpm
Case: Rosewill Wind Ryder RZLS142A-P YW
Drive: Pioneer Black 20X DVD±R
The Antec has continuous power... is that a good feature to have? Both are modular. Antec is $5 more than the OCZ (after rebate) but doesn't require a rebate for that price... and it's free shipping while the OCZ is not. So which is better?
For a little more info, I most likely won't crossfire two cards ever and just continue using a single card. I will also be overclocking the CPU.
Any other suggestions for a PSU? I'd like to buy a PSU that I can keep for an upgrade in 2/3 years or so from now.
Thanks for your help.
