Power Supply OK?

[TAGImperialMarch]

I'm building a Core 2 Duo based comp in july/august, single 7900 GT, i'm planning on OC'ing, and it's an attempt at being budget. 2 Gigs of ram, 2 SATA HDDs in raid, and air cooling. I was wondering if this power supply would cut it, as I'm on a tough budget, and this was a best I could find at circuit city, where i have a gift card.

that should plenty for your application.

Yup, Antec'd a good bet, and that PSU has 3 12V lines for a total of 56Amps - More than sufficient.

Enjoy your overclocking!

Actually if it was any other Antec PSU I would tell you to look at FSP Froup or Fortron.

But the Antec NEOHE seems to get favorable ratings!!

Good Luck with the Antec!!

The newer Antec Power supplies seem to show improvement over there previous efforts. Im sure it will do ok..however if you want an alternative suggestion you may want to consider this Enermax Liberty for the same money.

The 3 lines come to 54 not 56 amp...and..he doesnt have 54 amps. In mulitple 12 volt rails power supplies the power availability is not cummulative!

My addition is suffering from too much caffine.

It's 18A of availability on each rail though, was what I was trying to point out. Not too clearly ><

The Neo HE is built or at least based on a Seasonic design, so it's much better then past Antecs.

OP, you have pretty low power components there and 550 watts is more then twice what you really need. I would probably go with one of the lower wattage Neo HEs.

Thanks for all the input, guys. To the person who suggested the Enermax, I'm sorry this wasn't clear, but I have to buy from circuit city, as I have a $250 dollar gift card there, and my budget if i get the PSU from newegg will hurt... And because i'm planning on overclocking, and probably volt-modding the 7900 GT, and i'm trying to future proof, i'm going for this, instead of going lower wattage.
Off-topic, I have an HP right now, and i love it... you guys beat the crap out of dell IMO.

Hope the NeoHE doesn't suffer the Asus incompatibility with whatever mobo you get.
