I am building a new P4 Prescott pc on a budget. I know very little about psus and i have always used the cheap rubbish that comes with the equally cheap cases. Id appreciate your comments on the following or any other power supplies up to about £50. I am after a good trade off between power, noise and price (who isnt?).
Here are some relevant parts of my system (subject to change) to help give an indication of my power requirements:
Prescott 3.0e (EO stepping) @ 3.5-4ghz (whatever its capable of)
PVP800-e deluxe
2 hard drives
1 cdrw drive
1 DVD drive
PCI Tv card
PCI Philips sound card
ATI 9700pro
So here are the first few i have come across and havent ruled out instantly
More than id like to pay but i hear it is very good:
Tagan TG480-U01 480W ATX2.0 Silent PSU £63
These have high power ratings and low noise ratings but i know that arent as good as they claim to be but are quite cheap:
Hiper Silent Dual Fan 425W £33
Hiper Type R 480W ATX2.2 PSU £50
Hiper Power Triple fan 525W £50
I havent heard much of this company but this seems highly rated for a good price, am i right in thinking that theres no need for concern over the relatively low power rating due to the high quality?
Fortron/Source ATX-400W 120mm £44
I am open to any suggestions and comments. Thanks in advance.
