Antec TruePowver 430w ATX

[acumennous]

I am looking to buy a new power supply for my:

Pentium 4 2.66 Ghz 533
1 Gb 333 MHz DDR Ram
GF4 Ti4600 128 MB
120 Gb Western Digital
Gigabyte SINXP Mobo (SiS655 chipset)

I am looking to buy a good quality, quiet (my current power supply is very very loud) reliable power supply.

This power supply, the Antec TruePowver 430w ATX :

Seems very good but abit pricey.

Is the price justified ?

I dont think you even need that much power for your system... take a look at Sparkle PSUs maybe a 300 or 350w should be plenty and less money.

I have two. I absolutely love them.

They are worth the price.

Yep.. Antec PSUs are among the best out there. It's one thing that you won't have to upgrade for a long time.

So I get the feeling they are very good Are they quiet aswell ? becasue my current fans noise is driving me mad.

Cheers

it's pretty quiet. the psu fans are controled by a internal temp. sensor.

They are pretty quiet, but you don't really need 430w. I'm using a TruePower 330 that draws a bit more juice than your setup and it's very stable.

How does one determine what watt power supply to get? I am also interested in an Antec TruePower 330/380/430 because I want a PS that runs quieter than my current Antec 350W PS (PP-352X).

it really depends on a lot of diffrent factors. Quality of PSU, Number of devices in the computer, Type of CPU being used, number of fans, All play a role in how much power you truely need. For a computer with 1 HD 1 CDRom, and a couple of fans, you can run that on a quality 250W PSU (I know this because I have done it, it was very stable till the PSU crapped out on me...)

For my particular rig, do you think 330 is enough? Or the higher the better? Or is higher just overkill?

330 should be fine for most setups
