ok guys im new here so I'll start with hello :)

Now down to bussiness, I know I need a new power supply (I currently have a Q-Tec 500W) in order to run a AMD X2 3800+ with a 7800GT. The rest of my system is as follows:

WD Rapter SATA
WD Cavier Raid Edition 300GB SATA
1GB Kingston 400FSB
3 optical drives
Sound Blaster ZS 2
(Have I missed something?)

I have just bought another Q-Tec its a 650W Tripple Fan 24P and all I here is that the output is just not there but nothing is really clear, people are more conserned about the noise than the power. Noise is something I don't care about thats what I have speakers for :)
Now I want to know if you guys can say definitly that this power supply unit wont run what I got with what im getting cus people im asking are saying that I could probably run a shower on that sort of power but all I tend to here about them is that there useless. I don't want to burn my system any help would be appreciated but I would prefer to know if the 650 I have will do it rather than it will sound like a tornado.

Cheers guys

I cant say that with 100% confidence. i can point you in the direction i think is best though.

you should look into the Enermax Liberty 620W PSU. it has great reviews and people seem to love it, including me. a couple of review sites have reviews so you might want to read a bit about it.
 
while MSI is ok. there are better mother boards out there. try looking at DFI, ASUS, OR ABIT. they are good companies by reputation. while every once in a while there are the occasional bad product.
 
I have a motherboard on the way too, forgot to mention that its a Gigabyte GA-K8N-SLI SKT939.

I was looking at this power pack if you guys say its no good, what ya think?
