This is one i was considering since i am a poor man!

To power what is in your sig this will work just fine. I would rather have 400W from something dependable than 550W from something off the wall.

FSP Group (Fortron Source) AX450-PN, 12cm FAN, version 2.0, 2 SATA, PCI Express, 450W Power Supply - Retail

Yeah, I think I would go with the psu that mtgoat linked to also, even though it has dual 12v rails which can be problematic for some highly overclocked dual core processors (Intel).

ryko

yeah asire = bad. that fsp will be much better.

however this antec has free shipping right now...

The one you linked to is $17.00 more than the one I posted and has a fixed 24 pin where the less expensive one is a 20+4. It also has more power as well as the same efficiency and features. The only thing it has less of is one flpooy connector as opposed to two. Why pay more when you wanted cheap in the first place.

This PSU has more power than your rig will need. A good review of it can be found here.

Good find, ryko. I have bought from Directron once before and they were ok. They have a lot of stuff, but I find their site harder to navigate than newegg so I tend to forget about checking them.

I got my superflower 550 from svc on clearance and it still wasn't that cheap.
I love my SF psu.
