I'm building the following system:

*AMD Athlon 3700+ San Diego
*Asus A8N-SLI Deluxe
*2x512MB OCZ Gold
*74GB WD Raptor 10k SATA
*1x GeForce 6800GT OC (Will add another in a year or so)


Should I go with the Enermax EG565AX-VEFMA (Link: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16817103462)

Or the Antec NeoPower 480 (Link: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16817103924)

I can get the NeoPower through my work for like $75.... the Enermax runs $113.... but we don't carry it so I'd have to pay full price.

Thanks.
 
Antec is a better value. Enermax is a better power supply.

I prefer the Enermax EG495P-VE SFMA V2.0 for $74 if you want value and performance. There is no need for a 24 to 20 pin adapter with this Enermax. Comes with SATA, 6 pin PCI Express, and fan rpm monitor. You can also fine tune the speed of the two fans inside the power supply. Note that this is NOT a modular power supply. I have this PS and the rail are solid to within 0.12VDC.

On your mother board if you don't already have it go with the A8N-Premium and as far as the PSU goes get a Antec SmartPower 400 watt.

The "P" series don't have PFC... that's a great price, however.

Why the Premium over the Deluxe?
