I'm looking for a reasonably priced PSU capable of powering an AMD Phenom ii 960t and a HD7970 DCUII. This one looks pretty good since it comes with two 6+2 pin PCIe connectors. The reason I ask is because, given its price - and lack of reviews, is it likely to fail? I've heard decent things about EVGA so it looks to be worth a buy, but I'm not certain. Thoughts?
 
The GS is a seriously good PSU for that price, I wouldn't touch the EVGA 600 or tbh the 600B as a PSU is one component you shouldn't "skimp" on

For an office type build then sure, why not, but not really for a heavy load workstation/gaming system etc
 
Tosh. The 600w plus bronze is absolutely fine. Many people truly believe that they need a over priced virtually hand built unit to power their systems. True you shouldn't skimp but time after time people question anything bronze rated. I've put many of the bronze rated units (typically 500w to 750) to work and nearly all run happily powering systems with multiple graphics cards for years. Choice is yours as is how deep are your pockets
 
Bronze has got nothing to do with it really, if you have a higher 80+ rating it is not a guarantee of better quality. There are many bronze units I would have over some gold units, however the 600B is nothing special and although not being a bad unit, for a few quid more you can do better
 
Alright, so I snagged a pretty good deal on the evga 550gs. Now, my brother's looking for a PSU - ideally 550w. I've heard good things about Superflower and was wondering if this was any good? This is for his first build: FX-6300 and an HD6850.
 
It's good, not as good as Leadex or Golden Green but if you look around you might be able to get a better unit for £50

It is far from a bad unit though, 3 year warranty but seems a little pricey without TWO deal on it
