    i'm going to order parts for a new pc in the next
    few days,but i'm stuck on picking a PSU.i'll narrowed
    down my options to 3 and was wondering if you could give
    me some advice on which to pick.
    parts i'm going to get:
    p5q deluxe
    q6600 (oced to about 3ghz)
    4gb of corsair dom ram
    750 samsung spinpoint HD
    nzxt tempest case
    dvd writer
    4850 ice q4 tubro.

    the 3 psu i'm looking at are.
    antec neo blue 650w
    corsair hx620
    Thermaltake ToughPower Cable Management 750w

    they all cost about the same(100 euros),which would you choose?or would you get something else in the same price range?


    thanks

    +2. Corsair FTW.

    Best quality out of the list by far.

    cheers guys.
    do you reckon the corsair would run 2 4850's?
    might get a second 1 in the future

    I've got the Corsair 750W, plenty of room for futureproofing as it has 4x pci-e connectors with 6-pin or 8pin (some newer gpu's require the 8pin). Its very silent. Its only drawback is that its not modular.
