Which PSU?

[aLawLz187]

Hey,
Ive had a ton of problems with my computer [power related for the most part] and im looking to get a new power supply. I have two in mind and i cant decide which one to get. The first one is an OCZ PowerStream 520watt and the second is a Thermaltake purepower 680watt. I'm also open to any ideas or suggestions... im looking to spend no more than 200 bucks on it... less is better [as always]

I am in process of same issue, and the ThermalTake 680 is a better deal $ and better power output, and has 3 12v rails.

Mozzartusm recomended it to me, and after close review, he is right. But will be a few days before I order it.
That's cuz I am Richie Rich, not The Donald rich....

That particular Thermaltake is a rock solid PSU with plenty of room for expanding a system.


To save us both time, assume I know EVERYTHING :tongue:
