Hai everyone!

I just bought asus 9600gt. I think i want to change my PSU because i scare if my old PSU ( CM 500w Extream Power) cant handle my new GPU. May i know what is your suggestion for this. My budget is around RM400 - RM500.

my rig:

CPU Model : Intel E8400
MB Model : P5K-SE/ EPU
VGA Model : asus 9600gt
Memory : 2 x 2gb corsair ddr2 667
HDD : Maxtor 1 x 160gb + 1 x 250gb
Fan casing: 2 x 120mm LED Cooler Master Casing Fan
LG IDE DVD Writer

Thank you for your time ...

if im correct CM 500W extreem power is about 380W of power. it shud b enuf for your system if you dont overclock it. good thing about 9600GT is that u dont need to have that much power to use the card.

if u wanna change to a new psu just get a ST506F around RM350(altho is kinda overkill for your GC) sweat.gif

ps: my sis pc is using 500w extream power with asus 9600gt(not the top and the 3 party fan version) and it works fine.

Thanks for advise..
But, How about the current. Do you think CM extrem power can give enough ampere? it was state minimum 400w power supply with 12V current rating 26A for recommended system requirements for this gpu. Actually i not understand how to find a PSU with this requirement. If i not wrong, CM extrem power only give me 12V with 18A.
