Future proof PSU?

Dragunov · Jan 28, 2007, 04:43 PM

Hi

I decided to buy a Recom Backdraft RC-BD-B and Tuesday I gonna get it, but it's equiped without a PSU

So I want to know what the community recommends to use as a PSU...

Some points:

- Stable
- Silent
- Future Proof

Thx

My favourite PSU brand is Enermax, so I would get Enermax Galaxy (or Liberty, but I think it is less future-proof, because it is "only" 620W max).

620W is enough. cpu wont use any more power... or will use less thanks to intel by the end of next year (jumps in joy)

and graphics card cant use any more power or they will melt

(unless u plan to go SLI or something crazy)

Enermax PSU's are QUITE 'future proof'. The Galaxies will probably last you a LOOOOOONG time.

But the Liberty 500W-620W are solid solid choices that will easily meet all your criteria. And they're reliable as hell.
