I havent even heard of "HEC" before. The specs look ok on paper but who knows what the components are like on the inside. Your better off going with known brand names. Seasonic, Antec, Corsair, PCP&C, Thermaltake just to name a few.

HEC is junk and they come with HEC cases, I gave them a chance and there not even good enough for onboard video, for very long.
