Guys, can enlighten me about what are the differences between ATX version 2.0 and version 2.2?
I was thinking to get ACBEL Intelligent Power 450W, but what stopped me is it is only ATX version 2.0 blush.gif

IIANM, ATX version 2.0 PSUs has around 70% efficiency while ATX version 2.2 PSUs has around 80% efficiency. but hey, my acbel intelligent power 450W supports ATX version 2.2, that means it have around 80% efficiency. maybe mine is a new batch wink.gif

I am planning to get this rig:

C2D 6550 2.33GHz
Gigabyte P35 DS3
2 x 1GB DDR2 667MHz RAM (Kingston)
MSI GeForce 8600GT OC Edition (if got other brand better than this, please recommend)
Seagate 160GB
1 DVDRW
Samsung 931BW LCD monitor

I don't how much power i need. I need some pro & sifu recommend a psu that suit my rig. My budget is RM200-250.
Erm...Noise and efficiency are important for me.
FYI, I'll OC the processor a bit and I am a lite gamer. The games that i am playing is WarCraft3 and CnC3 and may be Starcraft2 in the future..
