efficient PSU for light gaming system?
I've been digging through 80plus.org trying to find high efficiency power supplies for my new build. It is a light gaming system that'll likely not need a ton of power. I'm thinking 350W supply would be fine. Does anyone have any good suggestions?

Hi,
My default PSU is the Fortron Source "Green" 300watt -- it is ~80% efficient, very quiet, and inexpensive:

Don't do it. It's a rebranded something or other. I would not trust a low-name brand to be honest or accurate with all the specs.Daox wrote:I also found the Rosewill RG530-2. Average efficiency of 84.1% vs the 330GB's 82.7%. Looks to be the same price currently minus the 330GB's $10 MIR. Anyone have any info on the Rosewill?
