Hey guys!
I'm looking at some mid-range premade PCs right now and since I'm not really an expert when it comes to hardware configuration, I was just wondering if this rather unknown brand PSU can handle an i5 4570, a GTX 660 OC (with a possible upgrade to 970 or something), GIGABYTE ga-h81m-d2v Mainboard and 8GB RAM or if I should invest some extra bucks for a Seasonic, Corsair, be quiet! (ASO) PSU.
Thanks in advance!

When looking at a "modern" PSU remember that the vast majority of a modern system's power comes from the 12V rail so that should represent the majority of a PSUs capacity. That LC power PSU only has 23A on its 12V rail, 23*12= 276W, that isn't much at all and most decent 350W PSUs have more than that available so I really wouldn't classify that as a "500W" PSU and certainly wouldn't try running a good GPU on it.

The XFX is derived from a Seasonic unit like all other XFX PSUs, Seasonic has a good track record so that unit should be quite good but there are no specific reviews of that unit or the one it is based off of.
