Decent Power Supply For Under $130?

Post by AzureNightmareX1 »

I need to get rid of my Ultra X-Connect Power Supply, I recently learned about its reputation as a system killer and i decided that it has to go so can you guys suggest a good, but cheap PSU? it also has to have a good 12volt amprage, thats the deal maker or breaker.

For reference im looking at the XCLIO Great Power 600 Watt for $110

If anyone can suggest something better for not much more money I will be very happy.

Ultra X a system killer? Thats the one I won off of here :shock:

Just certain models or all of them? I have it in the Aerocool case with the c2d right now.

Oh and on topic - what about a cheaper one - http://www.newegg.com/product/product.a ... 6817128002 - used that in a build for my inlaws and the E6300 and INtel MB I had.

Corsair 520w or 620W.

Knight your find the older Ultras had issue, while not the best PSUs, they'll do fine.

Hiper is okay, but for 10$ more you get the Corsair which IMO is worlds better.
