The best PSU?

[Ronni3]

Alright, final question.

Below are a number of PSU's that have been touted as being "good" by some here. Can you place them in order from best to worst, oor just let me know which out of these would be ideal for my needs? I am a gamer who likes to store movies, music, photos, and other junk on all these HDD's. I want something that will look good in my TT Armor and be able to perform reliably, now & in the future. Help me out guys!

PCP&C...Buy the Corsair 620W instead

All the rest are kind of a toss-up. The 5150GH is the bargain of the bunch.

Now buy your PSU and stop being an attention whore

Thanks to JG's help, I recently learned that the Silverstone ST50EF and the ST50EF-Plus are two different models (vice being the same model with the plus version only being newer as I has assumed).

They are both of the same series and specs, but the internals are actually different. The Plus version has better efficiency, enough to get the 80-Plus certification.

The Enhance 5150GH and the Silverstone ST50EF-Plus are basically the same model, while the ST50EF is slightly different. (Plus version carries a ~$15 price premiun over the regular version.)

Just wanted to point that out because you listed the non-plus version above. It doesn't appear the difference is too significant, but the more info you have the better, right.

Alright, I have decided to go with the Corsair, as Galvinized said, but instead of the 620W I am going to pick up the 520W, so I can stay in my budget. Thanks everyone, I learned some things and got confused with others, but thanks anyways!
