JohhnyGuru, who is a trustworthy reviewer, does not rate it well.http://www.jonnyguru.com/modules.php?name=NDReviews&op=Story&reid=65. It is also an ageing model, I would upgrade if using a premium product like the GTX 1070. XFX and EVGA make good budget psu

So a 550w is good? I was told on another forum to get a 650w.
