Can anyone please tell me which of these three Antec 550W PSUs I should buy
for my new PC build (or list a better one I could get from the UK)?

My system will include two SATA HDDs (RAID 1) (maybe four), one graphics
card (SLI sometime in the future), and an IDE DVD-writer. Based around the
A8N-SLI Deluxe.

Thanks! 🙂

I really struggle sometimes with Dabs categorisation - which categories are
these in? I look in case & accessories and couldn't find them (although the
links work).

They seem a little expensive for your requirements.

Yeah, Dabs' categories are a little crazy. 🙂

I know, but I want something reasonably futureproof, and if I'm to have 4
HDDs and 2 graphics cards one day (maybe within 6 months), I'd rather buy
something that's going to be reliable. The motherboard apparently
requires a minimum 400W PSU.

Cheers,

Philip

The pcpowerandcooling SLI PSU looks nice, but there seems to be no UK
distributor - and it'll be more pricey...

I shall go with the Antec EPS12V. Thanks again for your help! 🙂
