Reply: (edit)It might be hard to find a good quality 700 watt PSU for that price. I got a 600 watt Ultra from Fry's for $40 after rebate in Jan and I bought a 500 watt Antec from them for $50 after rebate. Check Pricewatch.

Reply: (edit)If you aren't in a big hurry, shop around and wait. Higher power PSUs will most likely come down in price. Frys usually has a special on a PSU every week.

Reply: (edit)"have a budget problem need somethign which is around for $55" "i want to buy 700W keeping in mind that i may upgrade in future" Then you should take that $55, add the $50 you're planning on spending for 5.1 speakers, save up another $50 & buy a good brand name 700W PSU. I still say it's a waste of money, not to mention overkill. There's nothing special about your system as it sits & to make it into something that would actually require a 700W PSU, you'd need a complete rebuild....new board, CPU, RAM, two PCI-E cards to run SLi, several HDDs, etc. If you can't even scrape up enough money for a decent 700W PSU, how are you gonna come up with $1000+ to build a system that would actually NEED one?
