Rocketfish 900-Watt

[mishonacro]

hello everyone
I decided to buy Rocketfish 900-Watt , because it's cheap and has 72A on +12V. do you have any advices?

Well Great great value for money as u get 72amps on the 12v rail....but wats the specs of your pc

Great Value? IMHO it looks more like a fire hazard. I wouldn't put that 900 W POS in any rig that I didn't want to fry. If you haven't bought it yet: DON'T. Buy a quality PSU and don't burn out your components.

CPU: Core 2 Duo E6750
mobo: P5B SE
GPU: GT 430
RAM: 2 GB
HDD: 160 GB

I don't need 900w PSU but it was cheaper then Corsair Builder Series CX600

can you suggest anything <60$?

Anything from Antec, Corsair, PC Power and Cooling, or SeaSonic would be a much better choice.

+1 Akopp and I'd add OCZ & Enermax as well.

Corsair
CX, their cheap model - Not one of my recommended models.
GS Their Gamer series - OK by me
TX - Their top line, normally what I buy.

Just remember a PSU failur can wipe out MB/GPU/CPU and drives, so this is NOT a place to skimp.
For Your system anthing over a 500 WATT "GOOD" quality PSU is gravey.
My I5-2500K @4.2 w/6970 GPU, 16 Gigs of ram, 4 drives only draws 350 Watts from the wall. Factoring out PSU eff that means my system really is only drawing about 280 W

Even a Antec Earthwatts 380 would be overkill. I'd recommend something in the 550w range, at least 80+ certified, preferably bronze or better, for your future upgrade.

I recommend this 650w only because it's $5 cheaper than the 550w model right now.

This is a good deal but it's not bronze rated:

When it says "FIVE 12v rails" you know it's cheap.

The best psu's have one big fat rail.

It doesn't even have a basic 80+ efficiency certification.

If you haven't bought it yet: DON'T. Buy a quality PSU and don't burn out your components.
