best psu ?

[tw33ter]

I'm planning to overclock this system once I build it, my only question I have is what would be a good psu to use with it?

• MSI K8N Neo4-F Socket 939 NVIDIA nForce4 ATX AMD Motherboard
  
  AMD Athlon 64 3700+ San Diego Integrated into Chip FSB 1MB L2 Cache Socket 939 Processor
  
  OCZ EL Platinum Revision 2 1GB (2 x 512MB) 184-Pin DDR SDRAM DDR 400 (PC 3200) Unbuffered Dual Channel Kit System Memory Model OCZ4001024ELDCPER2-K - Retail

Seasonic S12's are very highly thought of.

Tagan 2Force

I wouldn't buy anything else but Enermax. The one in my sig is top notch and won't break the bank. Seasonic and Tagan are decent, but if you really want something strong for OCing, the Enermax has stronger rails and doesn't have the noise and ripple the above mentioned PSU's do.

lol, stop that fanboy talk...or prove ur statements with a review.

Antec TP2.0

+/- 1% up to 75% load according to Silent PC. I may have an Antec now, but I have no reason to be a fanboy with this old 300W PSU for my Athlon 1400.

Seasonic S12 is great too if only it weren't so expensive. I would get it over an Antec, but if you dont want to break your wallet, then go with Antec. OCZ's Modstream seems not as stable according to reviews...

 

[tw33ter]

what about one with modular cables?

 

[biostud]

Lots of good brands that all can deliver enough juice(PC&C, Antec, Enermac, OCZ, Seasonic etc.), question is what else should it be able to do?

Noise
Efficiency
Looks
Modular cables
and whatever you can think of

Personally I like my system to be as silent as possible, so I choose Seasonic.

 

[Bona Fide]

The OCZ Modstream series is probably #1 in the modular cable division. And it's an overall good PSU as well.

OCZ Powerstream 520w :thumbsup:

It's got a monster 12v rail and all the rails adjustable

 

[tw33ter]

edit: i think im going with the one starman suggested:
OCZ OCZ520ADJ 520W Power Supply

 

[imported_Starman]

If you must have modular cables: OCZ Modstream

 

[tw33ter]

yeah, the more i think about it, i can just get a case like the p180 from antec and just tuck the cables that i dont use in the bottom and plus those adjustable rails are a real nice thing to have

The Antec Smart Power II 500 watt is cheaper and has 18 amps on two 12 volt rails, where as the Modstream has 26 amps on one rail.

dude, if your gonna say something like that, please prove it with reviews or something becuase the Seasonic is well known for being a quiet psu and I agree cuz its running on my system like if its not there, its super quiet. But again, i think i heard that these kinda run their rails a lil low but i dunno. get OCZ, Seasonic or Enermax...
