PSU comparison..

SMARTPOWER 2.0 POWER SUPPLIES 500 - SP-500 $56 shipped
or
FSP AX500-A $82 shipped

Between these two, which is better. Seems that the sp-500 has more power than the ax500. The ax500-a looks better and comes with sleeves but costs $30 more. Is it worth it or should I just go with the sp-500 and save myself some money for a better video card...

System Specs:

amd ahtlon 64 3000+ venice retail
dfi nforce4 ultra
2x256 kingston hyperX(pc3500) is a gift from brother until I have more money to get my own gig of ram..
NEC 3540A
HITACHI Deskstar 160Gb sata
Thermaltake Tsunami Black Aluminum ATX Mid Tower Computer Case

Questionable about:
video card(6600 or 6600gt) depends on budget
PSU???

My budget is about $700 + or - $50...
Thus far, I've spent $490..I have about $200 left to get my PSU and video card

All opinions and comments are appreciated, Thanks!!

Haven't you started a bunch of these threads already?

Get this it will suit you just fine and better fit your budget.

srry about the threads, but that seems like a decent psu also. I'll give psu a chance and read up some reviews on it. Thanks!

The Fortron is a much better PSU.
