Both of those are good, but the cheaper one is just as good so mayaswell go for that unless your going to fit 3 gpus and a Q9750 or whatever the lastest one is now.

14 reviews on my one, 5 on the other. Go with what you want naturally, but anyone that is into computing and gaming will tell you to go for a truepower psu as it will output exactly what it say's on the tin

Either would have done mate, dont have to go by how many comments an item has, but at least your future proofing with more Watts.

thanks for your time ..i looked at a lot of sites regarding both the items you and dan said..overclockers had sold out due to demand ..

the pc was built by a freind to play battlefield2... and the first time i played the game on my 22 inch dell i "was blown away"

but its a bit long in the tooth now via its specs..time to upgrade

cheers
