Looking for PSU with quick delivery

    Hi,
    corsair 650w psu which has been fine for a year has started blowing the fuse in the plug.
    Tested the pc with an old psu, boots up fine, but need 2 pcie plugs to power the graphics card.

    Tried maplin and pc world Galway, nothing suits for the prices/brands in stock.

    So, I need a decent 650w at least, with 2 pcie plugs.
    Are there any companies online which are genuinely situated in Ireland which deliver fairly quickly?

    Not looking to spend a fortune, decent at a decent price will suffice.

    Thanks in advance.

    What's the system that it's going to power - i.e., do you you actually need 650W?

    Hi, it's a quad core CPU and a single geforcegtx 285.
    I may upgrade to a better graphics card in the future but won't be over clocking.
    I'm actually about to pull the trigger on an ocz 500w Corextreme for 40euro on dabs.ie
    http://www.dabs.ie/products/ocz-technology-500w-corexstream-series-power-supply-8174.html

    I reckon as you suspected, 650 is overkill. Having the last one die has me future proofing a bit less this time!

    Thanks for the help guys.

    I wouldn't go for that PSU - a brand new line with no reviews.
    A good one to go for would be XFX's 550W one, but that seems to have disappeared from both dabs and amazon who used to stock them.

    I think you'd be far better off with OCZ's ZS line than the CoreXstreme.

    Cheers for that, potentially dodged a bullet there so.
    Once again I'll probably go for the 650watt as there is only a few quid difference between the 550 and 650 in the ocz zs line.

    There's the ZT line too which is modular, although people tend to say that they're noisy.

    Yeah I swore the next one I bought would be modular, but I can't really justify the additional cost.
    Thanks, you've been a great help!:)

    Hi, that would have been great if I hadn't ordered already!
    Cheers anyway and good luck with selling it.
