Power Supplies

Post by 05pricej »

Hello. After buying my new pc I realised it only came with a 350 watt power supply. I was just wondering if somebody could recommend what a good make or place to buy power supplies is? Im thinking of getting an 800 watt or 1000 watt supply to future proof me, im not looking at replacing it for some time...

Cheers :drinkers:

What's your system specs? There is only really a need for a mahooosive PSU that powerful if you have like... SLI graphics cards, a highly overclocked quad-core CPU and loads of disc drives ect.

As for a good brand, I can recommend Tagan.
