I am thinking of replacing my old 350W psu cause i think its causing my pc to reboot several times before it boots properly ( although after booting i can play games such as bioshock 2 on high easily )

Not sure if rebooting a few times 'heats' the pc up so it works ? :fou:

Anyway ive got

e6600 2.4ghz core duo
2gb ddr2 ram
hdd 320gb sata
asrock conroexfire-esata2 mobo i think
hd4850 radeon

Anyone suggest a good psu and a good website for the UK delivery? i am trying to get a cheap one e.g £50, theres a OCZ 500w thats why about that on ebuyer but i am not sure if this is a good choice as my knowledge on psu goodness is crap :cry:

All reviews says most psus are decent but i am looking for some opinions as to whats the best choice for my current system.

Thaaaannks
 



yeah, peeps says those are better but damn! OCZ's stats are pretty good and its about £20 cheaper for a psu with more watts and Amps on the 12v rail!
 
The differences most likely come down to efficiency. OCZ are a pretty reputable brand and I can't see anything wrong with them. You should be fine on 500W as well, but should consider a larger size PSU if you intend to crossfire at any stage.
 
obsidian86m - Dang! Another company that is no longer furnishing power cords with their power supplies. I guess they didn't think about individuals who build systems for other, sell their old systems, or donate them to a school or charity.
