Which PSU to get for my system?

wah007 · 12-26-2008, 05:20 PM

I currently have a 450w win power psu in my system but I want to get a better one as I have been told that my current one is not too powerful.

my system specs are

amd phenom 9850 quad core cpu
4gb ram
wd 500gb sata hdd
palit 9800gtx+ 512mb graphics
450w win power psu
asrock aliven570sli-esata2 motherboard
ide dvdrw drive

i dont know anything about the +12v rails as its too confusing so please check that on the psu if its good for my system specs and recommend a psu to me

thanks

For a 9800GTX+ I would expect to see a 750w unit> http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16817341011

No In the UK this one will work nicely > http://www.ebuyer.com/product/133812
Or try googling the part number of the PCP&C unit and see what you get.
