Recommended PSU

cherrytaz

Hi all,

I've come to the conclusion (i hope) that my psu is causing my computer to constantly freeze. My spec is as follows, could anyone recommend a decent psu please, no budget.

Intel Quadcore Q9550 2.83GHz Processor
XFX 750iSLi Motherboard
6 Gig DDR2 800MHZ RAM
Seagate 300Gig SATA Hatd Drive
Nvidia Geforce GTX 280 (1 Gig DDR3) Grafix Card
Antec 900 Ultimate Gamers Case
22X DVD Rewriter
Windows 7 Home Premium (Genuine)
Logitech Wireless Keyboard and Mouse

Cheers

SuperFlower Amazon 550W would be a perfect for you. Great price on them too

Only problem is that you'll be paying €30 for shipping with HWV, not good for only one item.

For just a single item, amazon have a few PSUs that are not bad.
XFX 650W is modular and will be about €90 (free shipping). There's cheaper, non-modular ones which would also do the job finen

Scan charge £12.34 for shipping here but have good deals if you look at the today only page, but make sure that you click the "buy" button on the page itself. The deals don't change until midday Monday.
The 600W Coolermaster Silent Pro Gold for £63.59 looks like a good deal.

Yeah if you can spot a few more items on HWVS that you want to splash out on, then its defintely worth getting the SuperFlower. Or ask if there's anyone around that would like to split the shipping.

Buying a single PSU means you are going to end up getting ripped off to some extent.

What PSU do you have at the moment, and why do you think that it's what's causing the problems?

Thanks all.

My psu at present is this as below and have been told its not a recognisable brand.

High Power Plus 650W

Model: Hp-650-G14C

I've looked at temps, memory etc and it seems like the only thing left. The computer is almost unusable now due to constant stalling/freezing.

I went ahead and got his off scan

It allows paypal so was the handiest for me.

Hopefully it will do the trick!

I can never remember if that XFX unit is CWT or Seasonic based, either way its a great unit, will serve you well, much better than that High Power unit anyway

Seasonic I believe.
