Reply: (edit)A decent 550W PSU is gonna run you between $75-100...if you spend any less, chances are you're buying junk. If you're not having problems, don't worry about it. Invest in a video card instead & get rid of that cheap piece of crap MX4000...it doesn't matter how much you overclock it, it will NEVER be a good card.

Reply: (edit)Get a power supply with dual 12v rail with each at least 15A and you'll be fine... Brands to consider would be antec, enermax, FSP, OCZ and Zalman...

Reply: (edit)you don't need a 600W PSU...actually, you don't even need 550W. What you need is quality! Buy a brand name unit not a "weird manfacture" & be prepared to pay for it.

Reply: (edit)If the system is stable, and the voltage stays within +/-5% range, then I don't see any reason why you would change your power supply... TMP-ManAsus P5P800-SE

Reply: (edit)There's another great Chinese unknown brand. Why do people risk their whole systems by trying to save a few bucks on one of the most important pieces???
