Ok, im planning on upgrading my PSU and I have no clue which one i should get... (BTW, im gonna try to OC my cpu to at least 2.9GHz and my GPU to 600/650. Also I plan on going crossfire with another X850XT)
Here are the ones im thinking about:
OCZ Modstream 520w
OCZ Powerstream 520w
OCZ Powerstream 600w (Is this worst than the 520w? its a dual rail PSU... are there any single rail versions of the 600w?)
PC P&C Turbo-Cool 510 ASL
PC P&C Turbo-Cool 850 SSIThe PC P&C Turbo-Cool 850 SSI obviously is the best PSU in the list, but I sure don't wanna save up $512.71CAD for a PSU... I was thinking about getting the OCZ modstream cause I love the looks and the decrease in useless wires; but it seems a little too weak. Oh and here are my sys specs:
PC-A9RD480Adv(PURE Crossfire advantage) mobo
AMD Athlon 3700+ 2.63GHz (Planning to oc to 2.9 or higher with new PSU)
Radeon X850 Crossfire Edition (588/610; planning to peltier cool and oc even higher)
1024MB (512X2) Kingston Value RAM
3 DVD drives
9 Fans
-Planning on switching to Water and Peltier Cooling
-Planning on adding an X850XT And go crossfire
-Planning on switching RAM to OCZ 2GB PC4000 Gold Gamer eXtreme XTC Edition
-Depending on how AM2 goes, I might consider getting the new AM2 socket later.
Thats about it... Thanks for reading this!
Sapphire PC-A9RD480Adv
Sapphire Radeon X850CF
AMD Athlon 3700+ 2.63GHz
1024MB512x2DDR400 RAM
350W Acetech PSU 16A;12v
300w SPI PSU 18A;12v

The OCZ It has adjustable voltage rails....
And it was voted the best since slice bread !!! Only about 6 moths or so ago.....
IF IT AINT BROKE, DONT FIX IT
A8N-SLI Deluxe
AMD X64 3500+ Wnchst
Corsair 2x512 DDR400 Dual Channel
GV-NX6600128D PCIX Graphics Card
Ggbyte GT Pro CPU Cooler
Zalman VF700-CU VGA Cool

I've got the OCZ Powerstream 600 in my main rig. I highly recommend it. It's powering my insanely overclocked system without breaking a sweat.
