Sup all. I wonder if Godsend still looks into these forums often. Oh well anyway I have a question about Power Supplies. I am making my own computer which is going to rock here are the specs

AMD 64 3200+ 939 socket CPU
MSI K8N Neo4 Platinum Nforce4 Ultra
OCZ Dual Channel DDR400 1 gig RAM
WD Raptor 36.7 gig 10K rpm SATA HD
WD 80 gig 7200 rpm IDE HD
Plextor PX-708a DVD/CD RW
EVGA Nvidia Geforce 6800GT PCI-E card

I might add a couple extra things but these are the major parts right now. I have been looking at 3 different Power supplies for this now.

Which of these power supplies do you think I should go with?

Whichever is the most expensive. :)

400w is not enough for all that, IMO. I know the Nvidia AGP new cards require 2 power connections, and really draws on that. I think Nvidia recommends 400w at MININIUM. With that ram and a 64bit processor, I think you should go 450w or higher.

I have a raidmax, and I've never had any problems with it at all. From what I understand its a semi-higher brand company. Not the best, but better then average.
