I am building a PC and wonder what PSU I should use. Here are the specs:
-X2 5050e
-Asus M3A78-EM
-2 sets of G.Skill 2x2GB (8GB total)
-WD 640GB Caviar Black HDD
-Samsung 22X SATA DVD Burner with LightScribe
*I might add another DVD burner in the future
*I might add the following video card in the future:
-ASUS EAH4350 SILENT/DI/512MD2 Radeon HD 4350 512MB
I looked through this forum and noticed that the power calculators are inaccurate. I am considering one of these PSUs:
-Antec EA380 380W
-Corsair CMPSU-400CX 400W
-CORSAIR CMPSU-450VX 450W
-SeaSonic S12 II SS-330GB 330W
-SeaSonic S12 II SS-380GB 380W
Are there any cheaper options, like $50.00 or less, or should I consider one of the above and which one? Also, is 80 Plus certification needed in order to save energy?
Thanks for all your help.
