Post by WesMan »

Hi I am building My first Desktop, so I need a little Help picking the PSU. My budget is about $70 but if that is simply not enough to get what I need I MIGHT be able to go up to $100. Below are the specs of the computer I am building. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Also if you have any general suggestions on the parts I am using it would be helpful since this is my first time building a computer. Thanks

CPU: E6300 1.83GHz
GPU: 7900GS
Case: CM Stacker - STC-T01
Motherboard: ASUS P5L-VM 1394 Socket T (LGA 775)
Ram: 1gig CORSAIR memory stick
PSU: not sure
Hard Drive: 80GB Seagate Barracuda
DVD/CD: looking for one

Also, this is a good calculator you can use to determine what PSU rating you need:

how much money do you have to spend? If you have a set figure... like no more than $200 or $145 or $80 then I can mention one or two worth looking at.

This one is also an option for CD/DVD drive. The other one seems to me to have too many complaints of coasters.

AMD Opteron 1224SE "Santa Ana" = DFI Lanparty UT NF590 SLI-M2R/G
Crucial Ballistix 4x1GB DDR2 800 = Corsair CMPSU-750TX
Sapphire 4870 1GB = Sceptre X20WG-Naga 20" = Logitech X-530 5.1
Seagate 320GB (SATA II) x2 = Samsung SH-S203B (SATA)
