Would anyone recommend this PSU?

[iewcoke]

I need a cheap PSU (around $100 USD), but I found this: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16817182017

I am just wondering if anyone has this PSU can shed some light on why this is so cheap for a 550W.

I think it's cheap because it's a cheap PSU...

Seriously, couldn't fin review with a quick google, so I would be careful, a cheap 550 can be equal to a 400W quality one, but with many extra drawbacks.

Hmm, yeah you are right. I founded a better PSU with a good name

The OCZ PSU is a great PSU, one of the best you can get for your money.

It should fit the case without a problem.

If you are looking for a good and inexpensive PSU, then consider the XClio GoodPower 500w PSU:

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?item=N82E16817189005

It is pretty inexpensive at $50 + shipping and their PSU's have recieved some good hardware reviews:

The only bad thing I have to say about it is that the efficiency is rated at 70%+. That's average for any PSU, but if you want something that is rated 80%+ then you'll need to spend more money. But $50 for a stable PSU and 70% efficiency is quite a good deal.

For $80 you can get the ENERMAX Noisetaker II EG495P-VE ATX12V 485W Power Supply:

For $110 you can get the ENERMAX Liberty ELT500AWT ATX12V 500W Power Supply:

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16817194003

My personal PSU is the Season S12 500 PSU. But at $120 it is probably more than you want to spend:

The system I want to build is gigabyte DS3, E6400, pqi turbo 2gb 667, geforce 7600gt, seagate 250gb 7200.1, nec3550a x2, floppy disk, acer 19'' moniter 5ms

I am pretty sure 500W is good enough, just need to know some good choices/pc cases

Thanks in advance.

My top two choices that are don't cost too much.

I can't see the mfr/models you are considering - Please list. FYI I have an Antec NeoHE 430W that is easily powering a rig that draws more power than what you listed.
