i;ve used that exact psu in a few different builds and have never had any trouble. brand name doesn't always mean everything. i go from my personal real world experience.

The 12V rails don't have a great deal of power but the PSU will definitely handle your system and card without a hitch. These are also good 500W PSU's. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16817703016 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16817151040 *Edit* To the post above, do not go with Raidmax. Stick with a more reliable brand. |

Power supplies should be purchased based on the brand. Certain brands make quality PSU's while other brands don't. I'm not saying that if you buy a Raidmax PSU, your computer will go up in smoke. I'm saying that the fact of the matter is, there are plenty of other better choices from more reliable brands for the same price. Why risk a system with a company whose reputation is not nearly as spotless as the companies I listed previously.

It has two of them.
These PSU's will be found on a number of different sites. Where do you need it to ship to?

This will be my final post on the subject. Ratings mean nothing on Newegg. In general, people who leave ratings and reviews on internet sites like those don't have much technical background. Some, like the people on here, actually can comprehend what makes a product good but most people base their ratings on ease of installation, price, and shipping speeds. It has been said before and I will say it again: You should never trust site ratings as your sole reason to buy a product. And I leave it at that.

you're joking right? most people on this site, probably including you buy online. most of the time because they do have a clue. a clue of what they want and a clue that you can get better deals online. the people that only buy in stores are the ones that mostly don;t have a clue. i'm not saying to trust newegg ratings 100% but it deff. gives you a good idea of a product. and this is my final post on this.
