Suggest a Power Supply

[DarkVenom]

How many wattage power supply (or any specific) would you recommend for a machine like this:

Intel i7 920 w/ Thermalright 120 Extreme RT
EVGA x58 Motherboard
6GB OCZ Gold Memory DDR3 1600 Latency 8
EVGA GTX 295 1792MB
2x Seagate 500GB 7200.10
Lian Li PC-V1010B Case

That's a serious system, don't know what your budget's like, but I'd go with this ABS Tagan 800W. It's got 2x6pin and 2x8pin PCI-E connectors.

Also, the i7s only have a DDR3 1333 memory controller, you can use 1600, but it's just a waste of money. Just get 3x2GB of 1333 and save some money.

You could save some money on the mobo too, the MSI Platinum also supports SLi.

this is a great unit that has gotten very good reviews from AnandTech and JonnyGURU...

Antec Signature 850w

it's also on sale for $219 shipped...

Thanks guys

How about this one:

Edit: I forgot to say I want it to be modular. Also, the ABS Tagan is too flashy for me.

Guys, I'm about to place my order. Would this Xigmatek work fine? I like the looks on it, but not sure on the performance.

It's $100+ in savings compared to the Antec.

actually it's only about $70 cheaper, $220 shipped vs. $125 + shipping, and that signature series Antec is one of the best psus out there, the Xigmatek is a psu from a cpu cooler company and really has no track record to speak of, not saying that it isn't a good unit, just that it hasn't been around long enough to be a proven top choice...

Unfortunately for my country free shipping doesn't count, infact I'll have to pay more than $100 for the shipping of the components (not including the case, which would up it to $170+)

I'm going with the Antec.

The Xigmatek wouldn't be bad. It's actually manufactured by CWT, and is identical to the Thermaltake Toughpower and Corsair VX lines.

I use xigmatek sometimes and they are quite reliable.
