I am also upgrading my PS. I have been looking at the Enermax Liberty 500W. I have a single 7800GT, 1 hardrive, 1 DVD/CD Burner and a 3000+ CPU. I want a really good PS for around $100 or less. Any advice?

thx

the liberty 500w is great but your system will run fine on the fortron 450w. but you could get the liberty 500w so you have future expandibility

Agreed to both choices too!

Valuewise, the Fortron is hard to beat.

I got the Enermax Liberty for my Graphic Rig.

I forgot to say that I am thinking about upgrading to a 3800+X2 Manchester CPU so would I need the higher wattage for that?

I read somewhere on a DFI forum that the"

OCZ PowerStream OCZ520ADJSLI ATX, BTX, EPS12V 520W Power Supply

Was the best power supply for this motherboard, however that post was a few months ago before some of the current power supplies came out. Any comments?

That's the same psu that I use to power my rig (DFI NF4 Ultra-D3200+ @ 2.6, 6800GS, etc.), and it's still a viable option. In fact it will power a typical 6800 / 7800 / 7900 SLI rig without breaking a sweat.
