What's the best 460w PSU(below RM200) now? Want to use it for E2180 and 8800GT, should be enough right.

They have been very strong in PSU. Yup, it should enough to support your E2180 and 8800GT as it is using the TRUE power. Give it a try dude

Hi , i am new here. My computer spec as below: mobo : gigabyte ga-ep35-ds3l graphic : asus hd3650 ram : 2x 1gb ddr2 processor : intel E7200 HDD : 160gb im not a very hardcore gamer and never OC it. But i do play game from few hours to half day. And i always have my pc on from morning till i sleep. Recently issues like random power off happen. I believe is my cheap PSu getting to its limit. So any suggestion of worthy psu which does it job in my case ? I have tight budget.... If possible give me a range of suggestion according to price range Thx !

Mine also i think a bit risky, seems just enough to power up the whole system... just hope it would be enough... Is there a way to personally calculate the usage ? i did try the Extreme PSU Calculation, but my PSU doesnt seems to be giving enough... So i want to calculate it myself see if its really enough or not...
