I just received an Asus A8N-SLI along with an Athlon 64-3500, 6600GT and plan on installing at least 2-3 hard drives, 2 optical drives, etc.
I just purchased an Antec TrueBlue 480 PSU, then found out about the 24-pin EPS power connector and the SLI power connector- serves me right for not doing my homework.
Anyway, before the return policy expires, what do you all recommend for a power supply? I got it at CompUSA, so I'll need to return it soon- their return policy is ambiguous.
I was thinking Antec NeoPower 480, as it has all of the connectors I need, but I've been reading a lot about how a bunch of power supplies are bad, with Antec's name being mentioned.
So what gives? I'm not planning on OCing at all- using this for Photoshop (film scanning and printing), maybe some video stuff, keeping everything plain vanilla.
I'm using my old Antec SX-1040 case, so I'll have plenty of room and plenty of cooling (4x 80mm fans), just need to know if I should ditch the TrueBlue 480 for a NeoPower or something else. Thanks.
