    700W, see sig for specific.

    Overkill for my needs, it just happened to be on an amazing sale at time of purchase.

    I'm thinking about upgrading my GPU to a Radeon58XX or a GTX 470/480.
    But Right now I can only afford a better PSU.

    BFG 450 Watts.

    This is actually the first "real" power supply I've bought. In all my other builds I went the cheap route and scavenged PSUs from old Dells and HPs. I haven't seen a BSOD from overclocking yet.

    Antec true power Trio 550w.

    Pretty cheap, not 80+ but it can hit 80% around 300w.

    500 watt seasonic. Not sure if it's really adequate for my system. The PSU calculators out there tell me it is xD.

    Am thinking of getting a 650watt HX corsair, in case I upgrade my graphics card.

    Don't see why not. I'm running a 500 watt seasonic with more than you quoted.

    550W Be Quiet DDP. I couldn't conceivably use it all without going multi-GPU, and people with 1000W PSUs frankly have something to prove :)

    I've got a Hiper Type M 580W here, it's been going absolutely fine since Christmas 2006 :)

    If me case is getting hot (usually because the rear fan has decided not to spin up) then it can get quite noisy, but usually its fine.

    I don't get why the modular ones was the Type R and the non modular (which I have) was the M

    X-Power 400w - Not the best quality but have no problems for the last year of ownership.

    Soon to take ownership of a 1U T-Win 400w psu. Probably loud but it's the only size psu that will fit in project o². I don't want to have a external psu ><
