Sorry to break it to you, but it is extremely unlikely that your PSU is making it REALLY slow:

Do some defrags and disk cleanups

Post a HJT! log in another part of the forum to be analizyed for viruses

Do some virus checks yourself

**1 g0t 0wn3d** · 10-12-2007, 04:41 PM

Actually his is just about the worst psu that is possable....i would not be surprised at all if it was the problem, if not then it should be virus. Yes the ocz gamextreame are good qualitty.

seeker991 · 10-12-2007, 04:54 PM

Thanks to all for replying :) .. but should i go for the 700W or 600W ?

seeker991 · 10-12-2007, 04:57 PM

do u guys know (the advanced "computer geeks") what is the best but not so expensive(80euro-150euro) PSU ?

Tumbleweed36 · 10-12-2007, 06:39 PM

I just want to add a couple of thoughts or my opinion.

First of all, with your rig, go for the 700 watt OCZ if you choose OCZ which is a very good supply. The Antec Trio 650 should also do a nice job for you and many places have them on sale now in the USA, so look in your area.

Your present power supply is very poor quality and while that can cause poor performance, it is certainly not a sure thing that replacing your power supply will solve the speed issue you talk about.

However, you do need a strong power supply to keep from damaging some of your good components, so you need to start there.

seeker991 · 10-13-2007, 01:48 PM
