I need a new power supply.. help please.

[Sixpac_XP]

Looking for a good power supply 500watt + to use in my system.

I am using a Asus P5B Deluxe (so need the 8pin power connection and 24pin connector). Cpu is a Core Duo 2 6600.

Also have 4 Sata drives..

4 fans.. 2 DVD drives.

and 1 BFG 7800GT video card (needs a power connector as well I guess or does it really get enough power thourgh the PCI-E bus? I will not be using SLI as this board does not support it)

Any links to a good brand name and model number would be great..

Thanks!

Can't go wrong with an Enhance ENP-5150GH from eWiz.com via Froogle (save a buck or so that way). Really check those specs and the reputations of the mfrs and you'll see that nothing else beats it at under $70. + shipping.

I haven't heard very good things about the Enhance PSU's.

I was thinking more on the lines of the:

A bit to general read for the motherboard I am using.. thanks for the link though.

Here's the "cheap but good" list from EOCF. You can also check that thread from the beginning for higher end PSU's, but they will be overkill if you're not overclocking & running SLI or CF.

(apologies for the language in the link...)

Check the review of the 5140GH on http://www.JonnyGuru.com Enhance makes Silverstone PSUs and until Dell bought them, Alienware used Enhance PSUs almost exclusively.

I don't know, maybe he's updating his site... I'll try to find out and report back.
