    520w or 620w PSU? .....help!

    Guys hope you could offer some advice please. I need a new PSU fairly quickly and so have narrowed it down to either the 520w or 620w Corsair as they seem to get rave reviews everywhere. I don't want to spend the extra on the 620w if I don't need to as there's a £30 (60$) difference in price between the two of them and so just wanted to ask if anyone could advise me if the 520w would be powerful enough for my needs please?

    I need the PSU to power the following devices:

    X1950 Pro (AGP) Video Card
    4 Internal Sata Hard Drives
    1 DVD-RW Drive
    2 External USB Hard Drives
    6 USB devices (keyboard, mouse, joypad, pda, printer etc)
    3 Internal Case Fans

    Would really appreciate hearing back from anyone who could offer me some advice!

    Thanks in advance

    520W Corsair will be more than enough for your needs as this is a quality PSU

    Cheers for the reply Paul, appreciate it.

    Can I just ask you if there's any possibility of either of the Corsair PSU's appearing in the 'Today Only' section anytime soon?

    No problems Yellowbeard

    We have no stock yet ]EGG[ but are awaiting a large shipment soon, these PSU's are of high demand but requests for them to appear on today only is also high so I should imagine them going on when they arrive.

    Paul can see that they've arrived in today, would it be rude to ask if there's any plans on them going on to the 'Today Only' section any time this week? Only ask as I know a few people that are after one (myself included) so just trying to pass on some business your way if any discount can be be offered on the normal RRP. Just trying to help as I'd hate to see their money go to overclockers
