Hi guys, I am planning to purchase the Antec Earthwatts 430 for my system build, but still hesitating about its reliability. I'm planning to do a little bit for overclocking on e5300.

Thanks in advance

Antec is a quality manufacturer, and the EA series is great (made by seasonic)
it is 80% efficient and has the basic cables to run a decent video card as well

The EA 380 is the only model that is still provided by Seasonic.
The rest of the EA lineup is now provided by Delta ( EA430D, EA500D ), the same group that provides the Signature series.
There have been no comprehensive reviews of the new models, but they have proven to be just as good as their Seasonic counterparts.

Get an HD4770 instead and go with the Antec over the OCZ. Other good PSU options are Corsair CX400 or VX450, or Seasonic S12II 430.
