Depends On the Build.

However, IMO Go with the Enermax if your not too attached to module cabling.

Ive owned two enermaxs before this one. Always Stable and Rails are Solid.

You could Buy a 450 Watt Fortron and it would be fine.
If you like Modular Cabling Then Hiper.
If module doesn't matter to you then Enermax.

i split this away from the sticky. please don't clutter stickied threads with questions. it's ok to ask questions in them but i like the questions to be kept to ones that actually relate in a way that answers add to the topic of the sticky.
