Antec High Current Gamer 520W, anything from Seasonic, EVGA 550W GS

Any 500W PSU from a reputable brand would suffice.

Seasonic S or M12II 520W. Antec High Power Gamer 520W is the same PSU for a lot more money.

Seasonic S or M12II 520W. Antec High Power Gamer 520W is the same PSU for a lot more money.

Although I do agree that the M12II is the better deal, I fail to see how $2 is a lot more money.

 

Once again, either of them will be destroyed for the price by the EVGA 550GS.

Thank you so much guys

this is MY philosophy when it comes to psu's.... GET THE LARGEST PSU YOU CAN AFFORD AND FITS IN YOUR CASE.... my reasoning... even if your system is only going to draw say 500 watts max... get a 1000watt psu like the RM1000 (which is what i have), because your running so little power draw the PSU will NEVER get hot thus helping your system stay cooler and more quiet... on the RM1000 the fan doesn't even turn on until im drawing 400watts of power and even then is still silent.

RM1000 is a mediocre PSU
