I don't know about Aspire's psu's. It seems kinda "iffy" if u ask me

 

[imported_Kensai]

It'll probably work, but I would rather go with an Antec or Enermax PSU.

 

[Promethply]

For such a cheap PSU, it surely has a very robust 12V rail...

But depending on your system, I'd recommend PSUs with the same wattage from Antec, Enermax, and even Superflower.

 

[Inspector Jihad]

antecs are kinda expensive tho

yeah, it looks ok, as long as you dont have like 7 hard drives, 5 cd drives, and 2 video cards or something.

i have or will have:
Asus A8V deluxe agp mobo
amd 3000+ venice
NEC3520A dvd+rw
Corsair 2x512 pc3200
200gb Maxtor sata HD

and my graphics card is gonna be either a 6600Gt or a 9800all in wonder...not sure yet...and its agp btw.


what should i look for in a psu? i mean the wattage and the amps on 12v line? what kinda range is good for my pc?

Aspire is crap, don't waste your money.

As for those specs, 300 watts is fine. If you think you'll upgrade to a more power hungry CPU or graphics card go for 350. I would look at Seasonic and Forton Source/Sparkle, you should be able to find somthing pretty reasonable.

You want a PSU with a robust amps on the 12V rail(s), such as the $52.50

450W Xclio (just like Antec, their PSUs are manufactured by Channelwell BTW), with a total of 32A on its 12V rails:

XClio 450BL ATX 450W Power Supply

 

[Inspector Jihad]

do i need 32 amps?

 

[imported_Kensai]

You might not *need* it, but you have it so you have a very nice upgrade path in the future.

 

[Cheesetogo]

Plus it's rather cheap for a good quality psu of that size.

 

[Inspector Jihad]

is 21 amps good enough?

 

[albumleaf]

get a GOOD psu instead for 50 from newegg: xclio 450 watt psu
