I found out the problem with my system was a bad RAM stick. So now I have and extra motherboard and an extra PSU. The motherboard I just tossed cause I think it might have been bad. Sounds like a waste, I know, but I'm so sick of all these computer parts piling up in my room.
Anyway... the two PSU's are an Ultra X-Connect 500W UV Blue. These have a horrible rep on DFI Street for the Lanparty boards (which I'm using), but it is UV and looks pretty cool in my case, which makes it hard to part with. It's also modular so there's less cables to deal with.
The other PSU is PC Power and Cooling SLI Deluxe that I paid $230 for. This is supposed to be one of the best units to use with the Lanparty board, but it doesn't look as great.
I've checked the voltages on both units will running and they both seems to be about the same.
I know it's obvious which one is better, but the question I ask is, is it necessary? Will the X-Connect work fine for my situation.
BTW I'm using:
DFI Lanparty Ultra-D
2x OCZ PC4000 VX 512MB
Sapphire X850XT PE
Athlon FX-55 San Diego
