need recomendations on which power supplies are best for overclocking, as im having a hared time finding reviews of a variety of them. enermax seems to be most expensive, are they really the best, or at least worth the $$$? i will greatly appreciate any recommendations and/or links or sites thay review psu's. also how many watts are ideal for overclocking on a p4? 400+? 500+? an enermax 350? thanks for your time & help

Tom's hardware guide did a review back in October. Price wise, newegg has 2 pretty good deals, an allied 400 watt dual fan for $36 shipped, or an enlight 400 w dual fan for $46 shipped, last time I checked. Allied also has a 450 watt for $46 at newegg. Enermax, antec, thermaltake, and sparkle are all highly rated, but cost more. I would type "power supply" in yahoo, and see what reviews you come up with. Some of the overclockers websites review them individually.

Best PSU: PC Power & Cooling, hands down. Easily provides the most stable and consistent volt rails all around. If you want more of a cost-effective solution, Antec TruePower PSU's are great as well.
