Good Quality Power Supply

I'm looking to upgrade my powersupply... i feel it's not really doing a good enough job... plus i need some extra juice.

I want good quality and good performance...

I run an AMD Athlon 1800+ on a ECS K7S5A mobo.
512 MB DDR PC2100

2 7200 RPM 40 GB HD's

24x CD-RW, 16x DVD

and lots of other periferals...

I want a big PS, how big is not too big... like 500W ? I think right now it's a 350W.

Thanks in advance for any help!

I'm a big fan of both Antec & Enermax PSUs. Right now I have an Enermax 400w for my dual HD - dual CD-ROM drives - 5 case fans - and Athlon XP 2100+ rig. Works fine for me.

In your case, a 450-500w PSU should be excellent. Both those brands have proven reliability & a very good track record, IMHO 😉
 
The Antec TruePower series should definitely be an option, they are some nice power supplies.

Extremely quiet, and plenty of power to spare.

I have a 550W, I used it originally with my dual 1800+ system. Now I have an OC'd P4 so 550 is complete overkill, but it's still a damn nice power supply.

Get a Antec PP403x or PP412x (400watt), they are as good as the true power at a cheaper price.
 
what in the world are you powering with this thing? a car?

seriously though, a decent (like a sparkle) 350w should be just fine, i find 550w to be a bit ridiculous unless you have a HUGE system (like...*LOTS* of drives and whatnot...)
 
I agree with BingBongWongFooey, you don't need that big of a power supply, as long as it is a good one. What I would suggest you is to do a search in this forum and in other and read what threads people have posted. I find that really helpful everytime I need an answer.

I hope this helps!🙂
 
I agree with BingBongWongFooey as well. You do not need that big of a power supply espically with the Antec truepower series power supplies. The Antec truepower series power supplies are very nice!
 
For your rig any good quality 350w PSU like Antec,Enermax,Sparkle,Enhance etc will be find.
