Here, I found one that looks cheap and good. Check it out, Powertek 750W +12@42A:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16817713002
Has some pretty good reviews and such. I can't think of any problem with this beast.
I would not worry to much about reviews from newegg.com. To many times people that rate the products and such have no clue as to what they are doing and as for the guy that said the enermax was incompatible with the gigabyte board I am willing to bet money that its user error on his part. I dont really see how the enermax would be incompatible with that board but whatever.
As for the Powertek I know nothing about them so I would be a little cautious, you might want to see if you can find some pro reviews. The thing I dont like is that they are not showing that PSU's effeciency rating which is sometimes a bad sign.
Yeah, I don't really see how a PSU can be incompatible with a motherboard either. There are a lot of useless people on Newegg, that is true - they generally manage to report the part if it's broken though. Grumble. PowerTek's website sucks. It only has on product on there which isn't even the one I'm looking for. Damn. Sounds too shady for me. I'll skip it.
So, that Enermax 550 will definitively power my system, with 8800GTS, and leave a good amount of room open for OCing later on?
I went to Powertek's website as well and left unimpressed by their lack of information :roll:
As for the Enermax it will give you tons of overclocking headroom. I just built a S939 system for my best friend and his specs are as follows-
Enermax 550
Opteron 175 overclocked from 2.2ghz to 3.1ghz
8800GTX overclocked to 630core 2030mem
Asus A8N5X
2gigs ddr 400
Soundblaster Audigy SE
3 case fans, 2 dvd cd drives and 1 hard drive.
The enermax 550 was showing a rock solid stable 12v rail after hours of gaming with this system! 11.97 on the 12 rail with all this heaving overclocking on the CPU and a Power hungry 8800GTX is pretty freakin awesome 8)
You have to also remember you are using an 8800GTS which doesnt use as much power as the GTX, so if this PSU can handle a heavily overclocked GTX then a GTS will be no problem for sure.
whats the amperage of that psu?
Igot an antec true power 30A ( true power 550W )
with a similar system
(X2 3800 2.0 to 2.5 Ghz OC , watercooling system
5 120mm fans , sound blater audigy 2zs, 2 hdds (IDE ) 2 dvd-rws
capture tv card, but atm with a X850XT. 2 GB ram DDr400 and asus a8n-E )
