I'm Needing a new power supply for my rig, i'm wondering if this is a good power supply, my last unit was a thermaltake, never buying another thermaltake again, i've heard of Raid Max but really haven't done any research.

Generally Raidmax is much worse than Thermaltake 

 

Why dont you list your computer specs and budget and let us pick one for you.

AMD FX-8350

HD 6970 Crossfire

2 SSDs

5 72k HHDs

1 DVD drive

8 140mm fans

 

$75 ish for a psu

These would be my choices:

Looks like a tad over 700w you need

pcpartpicker says 809W

And I know I have a bunch of mismatched Ram, it's what I had lying around.

What About this one?

I see you added your budget, think of it this way your spending an extra $25 and getting a 10 year warranty.

Seasonic & Corsair are really the only PSU's I can comfortably recommend 

 

Edit: Both of the Corsairs are on sale till Friday on Newegg

I really wanted to get this one, but I didn't have the money at the time when it was on sale, i've heard sea Sonic is a good brand from you and many other people, I might wait for it just to go back on sale, but is this one at decent?

[TARS]

That's also a good PSU, look at my edit above your last post.

I think, i'm going to wait until after Christmas, hopefully a newegg sale will come on, thank you for all of your help!!

raidmax PSUs are mostly junk, although they have a couple of decent units. that one's probably not it though. i'd recommend the Rosewill capstone 750w or EVGA B2 750w for $75-ish, Corsair TX750M if you can spend abit more.

Sell your graphics card, then a $50 buck PSU is possible.

BUt with that setup I'd rather not cheap out on the PSU.

 

Without OC a good quality 650W should be more than fine for that setup, 750W to be "safe".

I had something similar but with two Tahitis in GHz edition wich consume a bit more than your 6970. And I've measured my system - when I still had the FX8350 that I sadly sold at one time....

Raidmax is generally super crap.

 

Honestly, I'd just run one of those GPUs, sell the other, and try to get your system up to date a bit more. Get something like a CX550M to save yourself a bit of money rather than getting a 750W PSU for those two GPUs.
