Its an 850W power supply for $49.99. "If it seems to good to be true........"

I am not saying it will blow up, it may last for 10 years, but the question is: Do you really want to risk your time, money, and system over a $49.99 power supply?

What is you MAX budget for a power supply?
Will this be used for you sig. system?

Got a pic of it?

Try contacting the retailer to pressure the manufacturer.

To answer most of your questions: (1) a fridge cannot cool a PC (2) 64-bit OS for over 3.4GB (3) If a PCIe card fits, it should work (4) Resolution, not screen size (5) If you have a question, it is not news (6) Report, not respond to Spam (7) Single-Rail/Non-Modular PSUs are not always better than Multi-Rail/Modular
