hello,

i need 600-700w PSU. of what is available i have:

Antec TruePower Trio 650W
ZALMAN 600W PSU WITH HEAT PIPES BLACK
NEXUS PSU REAL SILENT REAL 600W 80PLUS (NX-8060)
CHIEFTEC PSU ATX 650W PFC,80+,CABL.MANAG (CFT-650-14C)
CHIEFTEC PSU ATX 620W PFC 12CM BLACK (CFT-620A-12S)
Corsair 620HX

soooo, i was first going for Antec (it will be placed in Antec P182), but they told me Antec PSU quality has been bad lately.

Soooo i wonder again...

Thanks..

oh, and add OCZ GameXtreme 600/700 to the list..

Corsair + P182 is the best combo. Made for each other.

Corsair. Antec qaulity is usually okay, theres just 1-2 series with bad caps, and then only lower-end units.

Corsair 620 by far is the best of the ones that you listed. What system are you going to use this in? Maybe the 520w Corsair will do or even the vx450w one can do it. Do you know that the vx450w Corsair can easily handle a 8800gtx system? I'm just asking, so we can recommend the best solution. Yes the 620 can just about handle any system out there right now, but why spend $120 for a PSU when you might only really need a $100 or even $75 one? It's always better to plan for the future, but if your putting this into a computer that is only running a system with a 8600gt in it, than why bother spending too much on the PSU.

Another vote for HX620. I have it powering my current rig and I couldn't be happier with it.
