OCZ GameXStream 700W PSU Good PSU?

[Verse914]

I'm looking to buy a replacement PSU as mine is crapping out on me. Here is what I'm looking at...

OCZ GameXStream OCZ700GXSSLI ATX12V 700W Power Supply 100 - 240 V - Retail
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?item=N82E16817341002

and here's what I plan on running on the PSU...

Asus P5W DH Deluxe MOBO
Pentium D 920 OC'ed to 3.65GHz
4GB of DDR2 RAM (4x1GB sticks)
ATI 1900XTX
5 SATA HDs
X-Fi XtremeMusic Sound Card
1 DVD-RW
1 CD-RW/DVD Combo
2 120mm Fans
2 80mm fans

What do you think? Any other suggestions ($125 is my max price)?

Meh! OCZ is an OK unit but nothing to write home about.
IIRC, TigerDirect has this unit for $79 AR.

OCZ has done me great for almost 2 years now. my 520 has handled all i could throw at it. buy it, worth the money

I'd suggest the Corsair HX620 instead, as it's quieter, performs better, & doesn't have limiters on each +12V rail, which means more flexibility for high end future video cards IMO...

It's reviewed on jonnyguru. Pretty good overall, but has an issue with ripple. I personally have the FSP Epsilon 600W which is the same except less juice on the +12V.

That power supply should be enough to handle your requirements. Quad 12v rails are pretty impressive but probably necessary with the load you're going to be putting on it...

thanks for your replies everyone. I think I will go with the 700W as its in my range and looks like a nice PSU. I plan on running dual cards eventually and this one seems like it would be ok.

 

[Goi]

I don't think you'd be disappointed

You might want to consider upgrading to a C2D processor.

I'd get the Corsair HX620 or one of the Silverstone Zeus series.
The FSP Epsilons and GameXStreams go out of ATX ripple spec at full load when NEW.
So are they going to provide clean current three years later at 60% load? IDK but we
will find out. Dirty current works board and card capacitors hard. This will shorten thier
service life down the line and dirty current causes instability and reduces OCability.

A little late, but I got my OCZ GameExtreme 700W and its working great. I was even able to overclock a little bit more

what case are you using this on? i'm using it on a lian li v case and with the 120mm fan on the bottom it picks up a lot of dust off my floor...

I have a COOLER MASTER Centurion 5 CAC-T05-UW.

I get a little dust, but not too much. Placement of the pc will also make a big difference on how much dust you are getting.

ye then it should be fine, it will act as an exhaust taking air from the area where your cpu hsf will most likely be
