Anyone have any experience with BFG power supplies?
Are they well built ?
Worth the money?
I bought three a few months ago and have been using one.
Just looking for a little input.
Im using a 650 watt now but have this 800 watt that Im considering using on my new upcoming computer.
Thanks in advance.

I wouldn't get one. Currently, there are better PSUs for less.

I already have two 1x650 and 1x800.
I could get decent money for them and buy something else.
My question is will it suffice?
Ive been using a 650 and I used the other 650 in my sons XMAS pc.
Should I sell this 800 watt to buy something else?

They are adequate PSUs but no means the best. At what price range are you looking at? It probably is not worth the effort to get a new PSU though.

Good.
If it is adequate Ill just keep this one.
I was just trying to confirm whether or not is would be an acceptable unit.
Thanks Duckie.

I have a 650 as well and I'm reasonably happy with it. It isn't the best but I do at least trust it. I don't think its going to take out half of my computer like my old Hiper did at least.

650W is plenty dude, my comp OC'd to my sig specs pulls 372 Watts under full load...

Typically, perhaps. But currently they are on clearance for around $130.

For a PSU that's typically 80% effiicent, puts out a continuous 800W @ 40°C and has a lifetime warranty, I'd say that's a pretty good deal.

It is group regulated, so I wouldn't suggest it for a Socket A or a Pentium III, but otherwise I would say it's more than adequate.
