I currently have the Enermax Liberty ELT500AWT 500watt Modular PSU. Its a VERY nice PSU IMO. However im building a new system and i will either have to leave this one in the current rig im selling to a friend and buy myself a new one. Or i can use this in my new rig and buy him a cheap PSU. He really only surfs the internet and downloads some music. I am taking my gfx card also to my new rig.
New rig:
Q6600 G0 stepping
Not sure on MOBO yet but it will either be the Gigabyte DS3L or the Abit IP5-E
Crucial Ballistix DDR2 800 (2 x 1gb sticks)
Evga 8800GTS 640mb
Creative X-FI Xtreme Music
Western Digital 250gig SATA Hard Drive w/16mb buffer
Samsung 18x DVD Burner w/Lightscribe
Mitsumi Card Reader/Floppy Drive
Thermaltake Armor Series Case w/25cm Side fan (also has 2 120mm and 2 90mm fans in it)
Im sure this PSU is plenty good enough to run this system im just wondering if i should buy the Corsair 520HX. I read its a VERY nice PSU but do i really NEED it? Or should i just save my money and buy him a cheaper one and use my Enermax?
Also i have a question about the 8pin and 4pin motherboard hookups. I think the Enermax only has the 4 pin and the Abit motherboard needs an 8pin...Does this matter???
Thanks for the help guys!
