OCZ Fatal1ty - Ripped Off?

[kigrax]

I bought an OCZ Fatal1ty 550w a few days ago and I feel a bit ripped off; 550w for $70 isn't a lot of power. I plan on upgrading my GTS 450 to a 560ti in the future. If I can return it, what power supply should I get to support that, in that price range?

Yea.

The Fatal1ty line is a mid range lineup but marketed as a higher end offering...

75$ after MIR.

Bronze certified.

Thanks for the info! Should I wait until I return the OCZ or just buy it now?

Return first, buy second.

Thanks for the answers. While you're here, can anyone help me choose a motherboard?

No.

Seriously though, start a new thread

This will keep confusion to a minnimum since people see the headline first.

The two top PSU's are probably Seasonic and Corsair. Make sure it's at least 80+ bronze certified but if you want to go with the best (and I would) get a PSU that is 80+ gold certified.

What about http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817341018
$60 after rebate, modular, 80plus, 700w

I got it for $60 before rebates and $35 after. I have to say. It's quite a steal at this price and it's a top tier PSU. It'll support a GTX 560 Ti OC with a i5 2500k OC no problem. No need to get a new PSU.
