Please help pick out good power supply for me system

I have a Geforce 250, with a AMD not sure which CPU but newer one. Whats a good power supply from Newegg?? Im using AMD Asus motherboard. Whats a good power supply, has to be newegg.

Corsair 450w should be enough.

Well heres another choice for more future upgrades for nearly the same cost as the corsair above http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817341034&cm_re=ocz-_-17-341-034-_-Product OCZ 700w GameXStream Recertified

Corsair HX 650 Watt

Recertified? I honestly think buying a brand new power supply would be a better decision than getting something that was previously broken :?

As for the power supply, I would suggest the BFG GS-550 power supply. That would be able to power what you have easily. It's cheap too :D

As the pther guy said stay away from refurbished items. They are just fixed PSUs that were broken.

The HX650 is good, but really pricey. Even if he has the money for it, he could just buy an OCZ 700w ModXStream, enjoy crossfire/sli and modular capabilities, and still have money to spare. If you're talking current needs though, the GS-550 would be more than enough. Heck, that thing can even power a 5850 comfortably :P

Make sure it's a good brand. A lower wattage Corsair is most probably better than let's say a 550w lower-quality brand. 450w Corsair is plenty to power your system, and if you certainly are looking for an upgrade in the future you can go for the 650w, although it's more expensive.

I'd definitely stay away from refurbished, especially when you're talking power supplies. Remember, when a power supply goes up in smoke, it can take other components out with it. Never, ever skimp on your PSU. As for me, I went overkill and got an 850 Watt Corsair PSU. It'll last me as long as I care to upgrade my current setup. After having a PSU die on me on a new computer (after 16 days), I sleep better at night knowing I have a Corsair powering my system now. Thankfully, the PSU that blew didn't take anything with it. I got lucky. How do you feel about gambling?

[QUOTE="04dcarraher"][QUOTE="weisguy119"] Well if the company did their job correctly then no worries, but if they didnt then yes. But OCZ do make descent products. millerlight89
