Hello,is this power supply trustable? I havent seen any good reviews here.Is Taiwanese company,has anyone tried it out? Is the platinum certification really worth it electricity bill per month? My PC uses less than 300 Watts in total but im always thinking in the future,so i may add more hardwares to my case.And i need the best certification possible to be efficient and not wasting energy.

Thanks.

showing diff between gold and platinum is 2%-3%, mostly 2%
how much is your energy bill on pc per month?
http://www.dslreports.com/faq/2404 has some calculation, even 24/7, should be less than 50 bucks, 2% is like 1 buck, 12 bucks per year. If you don't run 24/7, let's say half, then 6 years break even, not to mention in win is not as good quality as seasonic, I will pick Seasonic focus point 750 gold.

In the future i will be upgrading my video card and doing SLI.Im always thinking of the future,so i always aim to the best possible i can get considering my pocket.Which always varies.And the Platinum certification is good for saving electricity bill per month,right?

My current PSU is like 4~5 years old,is fan noise really low but is not even bronze,is only standard.

Calculating all my hardwares,it uses 272 Watts Aprox,not 100% sure,lets say is 300 Watts.

I dont know if to sell or not xD.It kinda old and suck,i bought it cheaper.And im afraid that tomorrow will get damaged for being old.I know corsair is good brand but is time to upgrade for a platinum ceritification.Not satisfied with gold.

Oh i forgot it,the main reason im upgrading is that my current PSU isnt FULL MODULAR and that is really important for me,i hate cables and my PC case will look much better,cleaner and better fresh Air cooling space.

Here is the link from my country's market.Isn't that huge,lacks of variety from importing.In my country everything is expensive except fruits and vegetables.The taxes are too much,like more than half to the original amazon,ebay original prices.

I hate my country,I love USA,Canada.
