I'm wanting to upgrade my OCZ ModXStream Pro 500w PSU so that I can power future upgrades to my computer a bit better and I'm wondering if someone can suggest one in the $80 range. I'd like to get something in the 600w+ range if possible. I'm powering the following currently:
- MSI K9N6PGM2-V2 motherboard
- XFX 5770
- 2x 2GB RAM
- 1 HDD
- 1 DVD burner
- 2.2ghz Athlon x2 5000+
- 5 case fans
Near-future (2-3 months from now) upgrades include:
- Phenom II x4 3.0GHz CPU
- Sound card (yet to be decided)
- Second HDD
Long time from now future (next year, 8-10 months from now maybe):
- New full size motherboard
- Faster CPU for said motherboard
- Better GPU
I have no preference if it's modular or not but I would prefer long cables so that it's easier to hide them in my Antec 300 case. 600w+ probably isn't needed now but when I get around to building something better I'd like to be able to recycle as much of my current system as I can so getting something decent now seems to make sense to me. Can someone suggest a PSU that would fit my current, and future, needs or am I a bit short on my budget for something decent? Thanks in advance.
