Help with power supply!

[Multisupermono]

I'm looking to save money but not skimp on quality power supplies. Here is my build save for the power supply: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/qyi1 I went to the Newegg, and eXtreme PSU calculators and they both told me to get a 350W power supply. I found an antec one ( http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817371003 ) for $30, should i get it?

No, go with Corsair CX 430 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139026 for 36$ after rebate.

Well look here

Antec Vp 450W with golden award a bit better than Cx 430V2 with silver.

Vp 450 is better that 400W Eco neo and it has more 50W + it can deliver up to 550+W

So no discuss

The Cx 430V2

The good news is: You now have three very good & inexpensive
PSU's from which to choose!

the CX 430 (with its mix of Taiwanese and Chinese caps) has never been better then the CX400, you can ask anyone who knows a thing or two about PSU.

its understandable from your all your responses that you fail to understand the components within a PSU. idiot fan boys like you come to this web site all the time and post your incorrect opinions thinking you know something, you all get run off in the end with your lack of knowledge.

You are such a retard. U linked antec /i linked antec . HOW CAN I BE FANBOY ?? ?

Learn more about the PSU yourself .

Cx 430 """"V2"""" not old one. And its a great PSU. But ANTEC VP 450 its more stable than that CX.

Tell whatever you like your still wrong.

And it seems you are the fanboy !

I think i'll get the VP-450 when it comes back in stock. But i would like to know if you guys knew how much the shipping cost to bring it to Austin TX.

 

[prototype18]

Well idk . But there is states free shipping.
On amazon is 38 $ and has free shiping too

 

[Multisupermono]

One last question. Do you know of any good cases under $30? And is one 4gb stick of ram good for gaming? i am thinking that if i get one 4gb stick that if i want 8gb i can add another same 4gb stick. Would this be wise?

 

[prototype18]

4Gb is good. 8Gb is perfect.

And about the case

Go to pc partpicker.com choose case and click on price. and look for a case that you like

 

[Multisupermono]

But could i use 1 4gb stick and leave the other slot empty?

 

[prototype18]

Well yes you can.The ram will run on single channel .When you put the secodn stick it will run dual.

antec is just a brand and completely meaningless once you factor out the customer relations. a PSU quality is based on the platform & components used by the OEM and the warranty placed on the product based on the those factors. Antecs PSU are made by several OEM at different price points with different parts. Some are better then others and you fail to see all of that.

Well seems that you need some teaching about PSU.

Cheers

Well kid or non kid seems that i know more than you.

Its not about the BA. Its about giving the correct info not info based on other opinions(thats what most do)

And who cares what you have.Not always what you have (antec neo eco 400) is the best.

Antec Vp-450 is prooved to be better than it. And provides better W/Quality for less $.

So go teach WRONG somewhere else please or at least with sm1 else.
