Is a cheap PSU reliable?

[Half Evil]

Oh I see.

And what about post number 29? DO you know?

Well, seems like this is a good brand (FSP)

So, would a 400w do me fine from them, or spend the extra $10 for an extra 50w?

Always get a little more, than the wattage you are advised to get.

 

[Half Evil]

Okay, but get this. I already have a little more.

Yeah.. the box says 400w min, and the evga site says 350w. So the box I guess is reccomended min, and the site is bare min? Either way, I think ill get a new one.

Oh well, with that I mind, and a convo with Alvino, im going to retry it.

Get a 450W. What rakedog told me is suprising. I always thought a system would suck more wattatge, the more recent it was

 

[Half Evil]

I will, when I get my next one. Might be a few days before I order though.

It depends what you're using. nVIDIA has always been light on the power, in contrast to ATI's power sucking.

If you have the money, i'd personally suggust this one:

been going pretty solid for a couple months now... my knowledge regarding PSUs is quite limited, but I can tell the difference between a bad one and a good one, and this one is definatly working pretty good.

The Whisper II series is okay. I like Enermax's Noisetaker/II and Liberty series better.
