Choose between these PSU's

[trOver]

Please help me pick. I need it to power an athlon x2 3800+, 1gig ram, 7600gt, 2x optical drives, and 2x harddrives, with like 4 case fans.

.... for atleast like 2 years

Edit: If i take out the Cooler Master and the Apevia (the rest have 5 egg reviews) which one should I get? Im thinking one of the FSP Groups are my best shot. Will the extra 50w make a differance?

FSP, the 400W should be fine.

THe two FSP's have dual 12v rails. The 400 watt has a 16 amp plus an 18 amp. The 450 watt has dual 18 amp 12 volt rails. Perfect for dual core and mid range SLI setup.

So I should go w/ the 450 or the 400?

 

[crossrode]

If you got the 450 with dual 18 amp 12 volt rails it wold easily run two mid range video cards and adual core processor. I suspect the 400 watt version would too.

I have an enermax 535 watt with dual 18 amp 12 volt rails and I run the follow with it:

AMD 4800+ 2.4 dual corre Oc'd 2.5
Evga 7800Gt x 2 SLI
Asus A8N32-SLI PCI express 16 x 2 socket 939
Crucial Ballistic 512 x 4 PC4000 at 400+ MHZ.
WD 250 SATA x 2
2 optical drives and floppy
Zakman 9500LED HSF
numerous case fans

No problem!

How about the Seasonic S12-380, $68+$7 , the Fortron FSP400-60THN-R, $50+$6, or the Enhance ENP-5140GH, $57+~$10? The AX series from fortron will work, but for a few bucks more you can make a nice step up.

So this non-AX series fortron is a lot better than this AX fortron even though the AX series has more watts?

Yes, the AX is FSP's budget line. The XClio 450BL 450W is a solid Channel Well unit, and would power that system just fine. If you'd like better quality, the XClio Stablepower 460W ($50) is made by Enhance, and would also be a good choice. If you can spare the extra $14+, go for the Enhance 5150G 500W from eWiz instead... more headroom for future expansion and good quality.
