Which Power Supply to get

[Quino]

I need to get a PS for a computer I am builing for a friend and I want it to ba as trouble free as possible since I will be the free tech support 🙁 I am set on these 2 for price performance

E-POWER 450W Power Supply, Model "EP-450XP-P2B" which is $50.99 shipped at the egg 🙂

Epoer\tagan

Fortron 530W PS which is $83.99 shipped at the egg

Fortron 530

Forgot to add that the system will have a SKT 939 Athlon 64 3200, XP-120, 2 gigs of ram, 2 15K Maxtor HDDs, external DVD and a 6800NU card oc and the cpu will be oc to as much as it can be oc 🙂

Haven't heard of e-power, but they sound kind of sheisty. Fortron psus are very nice. Also look into Antec psu's.

I have a true 430 Antec on My system but I want to test the others to compare them 🙂 The epower is a Tagan which is suposed to be better than Antecs ???

I think so, too. This SPCR thread was all I needed to read in order for me to stay away--forever. (I'll stay away from OCZ, too.)

Guess I will go for the fortron then 🙂

Definitely fortron, and thats a good price for a quality 530w also.

Here's anantech's latest psu review (a bit old but outstanding review, a must read for good info about psu's.)

Fortron rated very high.
