First of all I am sorry if this has been asked a thousand times...but...What would be a good site for psu reviews and comparisons? I am not up to par with the more reputable review sites out there?
 
lol.. thats where I just came from minutes ago... the S12-600 watt looks like a good psu with dual 18amp 12V rails..u know of anyone thats used this particular psu?
 
Try the forums there, Seasonic is popular with them. Search there worked better than here last time I tried it.

I should be getting the 500 watt version tomorrow for my new system, to power a single 7900GTX and A64 4200+.
 
sorry tjpark1111..I dont see an A3 at the Seasonic site?? I am quite the noob when it comes to psu's maybe I am looking for the wrong thing ..What is A3?
 
actually I plan on going bigger in the monitor area in a couple of months.. and I dont even have the 2 7900 GTX's yet.. I am in queue for the first GTX Superclocked in EVGA's step-up program atm then I will get the second for sli when they are easier to find. I like to look ahead about my possible up-grades and get as much info "before" I decide to buy them.

P.S. I am already researching my monitor choices...lol

for all we know in a couple of months you will be able to get a single gpu that is more than 2x faster than a 7900gtx....months is like decades in computers, especially if you are an early adopter.

but i do understand the step up program...
 
n7.. do you have any problems with your 520 watt psu running all the hard drives and optical drives on your pc along with a 512mb graphics card?
 
I agree with you bob..but I am getting close to maximizing my mobo's potential.. really thats what I am in the process of.. get this rig maxed and wait a year or so and then jump on whatever the current technology is when I am ready to sell or part out this system.

Actually yes.

I didn't plan on running everything off this Modstream with it's meager 28A 12V rail.

It dips way too low on the 12V rail frankly; i'm lucky i don't get instability.

It'd be running off a 700W FSP, but i the first one died on me, so i'm waiting on a replacement.
