Corsair cx400W PSU

[DiceAir]

Hi there people.

I have about R650 to spend on a psu and want to power the following

Intel dual core E2180
9800GT 512mb
2x 80GB IDE HDD
1x 160GB SATA HDD
2GB DDRII 667MHz
3x 80mm fans

I'm thinking of getting the following psu for R584 at ikonicIT. heres a review on the psu and it look ok to me

anything else needed?

personally i would rather get something 650w or more so that it can go though at least one more upgrade.

They make very good PSU. You would be safe with PSU to power a 9800GT but like Necono said. It won't last for a future upgrade in the next year.

forgot to add. if I'm planning to overclock will that psu be enough

Ok what psu do you suggest. Remember I do only have R650 and nothing more. hows the gigabyte odin 585W. I heard that they are crap

Even overclocking you wouldn't use up all the power of that PSU.
But future upgrading would be no no. Odin is pretty avg.

Rather go for a CoolerMaster Extreme Power 550W. You would be able to upgrade to a HD4850/70/90 or even use a GTX260 Goes for about R630, and cheaper if you know where to look.
