PSUs
Given the spec of a modern PC, especially a mid to high-end system, getting a good quality PSU that can deliver consistent power is essential if you want to avoid problems.
A high-end system is going to need a high-end PSU, and they don’t come much better than the Enermax Galaxy EGX1000EWL. This is capable of delivering 1KW of power in a stable way but without the noise associated with other PSUs.
This has a whopping five 24A 12V power rails, which allow you to build a stable system. Oh, and the modular cabling system means less cable mess. Oh, and it’s also 80% efficient, so it doesn’t harm the sky either.
Note: Do people really need a 1KW PSU? I doubt that many do, but there’s no doubt that these high-output PSUs are popular among performance enthusiasts.
Price - about $300
For the mid-range PSU I’ve dropped the spec from a 650W unit to a 500W unit, which has meant a substantial drop in price. I’ve encountered a number of these PSUs and I’ve been very pleased with them.
With the ThermalTake PurePower you get a robust, reliable PSU that delivers the juice when it’s needed without costing the earth.
Price - about $60
