Reply With QuoteSeasonic or OCZ seems be good right now. I've used a ton of Enermax and Antec and they seem to be ok for regular builds, but I would personally only use the first two I recommended.
I'm gonna build a new PC & i wanna know what size PSU i should get.
- I'll be running XP on it for now
- I may "downgrade" to Vista
- I want the MOBO so i can connect my tv to the hdmi and my monitor to the vga.
- I won't be adding any more HDDs
- I will be using my current DVD writer
- I may replace my DVD writer with a Blu-Ray Re-Writer.
- I may get a good graphics card
