PSU for my Build
I am building a PC with the following Specs
XFX 7800GT ABIT AN8 SLI 2048mb Dual Channel Windows XP Home AMD64 3500 17" Monitor Creative Speakers 80GB Seagate SATA Keeping in mind that I probably wont get another Graphics card for a while. So I was looking at two different options or any others suggested - Antec 1050b SOHO with a 500w Smartpower 2.0 - Antec SLK3000B with an Enermax 535W Whisper II Would you please be able to advise me on any problems with my ideas, any suggestions you may have, and which case and power supply would work best. Also keeping in mind I am on a budget, so I can't go out and spend the bank on it. |

What exact RAM is that?
Might consider upping the hard drive space. You need to get a SLI certified power supply: http://www.slizone.com/object/slizon..._powersupplies

To add to Blue's suggestions, It would probably be a good idea to go for a case without a PSU. Although the ones included in your examples are excellent quality, they aren't SLI certified, and it would seem silly to be paying for a quality unit and immediately replacing it.
Most quality case manufacturers make equivalent models without PSUs. Freakitchen

The RAM is DDR400 and its 2 x 1gb(512 x 2) Kits
Im pretty sure the Enermax 535w Whisper II is SLI Certified, it's model label is EG565P-VE FMA 535W which is listed under SLI Zone as certified. So could i go for that one? If so would I have any problems fitting it into an Antec SLK3000B case? |

Yep that will do the trick (RAM and PSU).
Any standard ATX power supply will fit into any standard ATX case (both are standard, so no problems). |
