Maximum PC

i am goimg to be building a new system come june/july and am mostly hung up on the power supply. the system will be as follows:

Athlon64 Rev. E 3500+
DFI Lanparty UT Ultra D
1gb Patriot pc-4000
ATI Radeon x800xl
Thermaltake Tsunami
Maxtor 250gb Diamondmax10 16mb cache
NEC 3250A
Thermalright xp-90c

the power supplies i am considering are the Antec TRUEPOWERII TPII-480 BLUE, Antec NeoPower ATX 480W, OCZ ModStream OCZ52012U ATX 520W Power Supply, OCZ PowerStream 520w
any advice and suggestions will be appreciated, and price does not matter.

I would go with the neopower, or there is coolermasters power supply, cant remember what it is called. Thermalake has some ok power supplys also.

im sticking to either OCZ or Antec.

Honestly, ANY of those would be sufficient for your system. My personal pick, however, would be the OCZ Powerstream 520w. And if price truly doesn't matter, then either the Powerstream 600w or Enermax Noisetaker 600w

well, price does matter, just out of the ones i showed, price is not a factor on my decision really.

Truepower, I have mine and love it. Since the truepower is a little cheaper then the other IIRC you could even go with the 550W version like i did.

I like the neopower myself. Thats what I plan on getting.

Seasonic s12 460w or one of the bigger ones. Whisper quiet, effecient, and quiet.

The NeoPower... I run it, its great.

Well, after viewing all of your choices, most definitely the OCZ ModStream would be the best choice.

1-Active PFC
2-28A in the +12V
3-Supports ATX/BTX/PCI Express/SATA,OCZ PowerWhisper Technology with 120mm fan.
4-Cable management....a must.

While the other ones are not a bad choice at all.....the Modstreams is PCI-e, 24 PIN mobo ready, no need for extra adapters nice cable management, no need to cable tie down nothing becasue you're already getting velcro straps and more power than you'll ever need.

I've got the Powerstream 520 and it's nice. It's quiet, has every connector you could want, and adjustable rails The modstream would be my second choice, but I prefer the powerstreams stronger rails. I doubt you would likely have cables left over, on my DFI NF4 board the only cable I'm not using is the BTX 12V cable. If you want to overclock, you're going to need good strong rails for that power hungry OC board, your best results will come from the Powerstream.

Go to www.dfi-street.com and check out what all the DFI overclocking pros there are using, lots of DFI guys swear by OCZ. Plus, OCZ has a couple of reps who hang out there to answer questions. The mods over there are Angry Games, who owns the forum, and Rgone. They are both DFI employees whose job it is to help out customers. Probably the next highly rated PSU for the DFI boards is the Fortron Bluestorm here
If you're getting a DFI board (and you should if you want the best OC potential from your new system) check dfi-street out and see what the experienced DFI folks are using.

yea, the powerstream was still at the top of my list, i was just seeing what other ones could be comparable.

Well i have finally made a decisi0on on power supply, and i have also changed my memory choice to OCZ 1GB (2 x 512MB) 184-Pin DDR SDRAM Unbuffered DDR 500 (PC 4000) System Memory

Quit holding out on us, which PSU did you choose!??

whoops, my bad, i meant to say in that post. i will be going with the 520watt PowerStream.

i forgot to ask, but what is anyone's opinion on the choice of memory?

Not a bad choice at all, but since you're getting the DFI NF4 Ultra-D, you should take advantage of the VDIMM voltage abilities and pick up some OCZ Value VX for about 120 USD, which according to Anandtech's recent Vale RAM round-up article can reach up t0 DDR510 @ 2-2-2.

yea, i heard about it, but there is guarentee that it will hit that speed, i want the guarenteed speed that those modules give you.

I'm not quite sure what you're asking, but the stock speeds are DDR400 is that's what you mean. And of course there's no guarentee on the overclock, but the VX line of RAM is made to be overclocked.

what i mean is what i showed was pc500, ddr4000. it is guarenteed to run at 500mhz no matter what, as long as the timings and voltages are at SPD. the value vx may hit 510mhz, but then again some modules may only hit 480-490mhz. thats what i meant
