Is this PSU good?

[killa4lyfe]

Hello

I am new here.

I have been looking for a new psu when i came across this one. Some one is selling it to me.

http://www.buy.com/prod/xg-vortec-600w-atx-12v-ac-power-supply/q/loc/101/202863768.html

I am getting that same PSU for about $40. Is it worth it or am i getting short-ended? Also do not worry about the "no pci-e connector" since i have the molex to 6 pin connector.

I might be either running a HD4850 or HD4890 on this btw.

Thanks to anyone who comments.

I wouldn't use it even if I were paid $40.

That would be a big negative. Look for: Antec, PC P&C, Corsair, OCZ, BFG, Zalman, Thermaltake, or Seasonic/Silverstone (unless in a 220v area)

why so bad?

IH8U - took the words out of my mouth. I'd stick with Antec, PC Power and Cooling, Corsair, and Seasonic/Silverstone, and some OCZ as well.

I don't trust my components to lesser PSUs - it could wreck the entire system.

Do some reading on the damage they can cause.

well i have had a crappy sunpex ATX-450ps for over a year now......isnt that bad too?

 

[killa4lyfe]

oh also i my rig is ....

e2140
3gb ram
HD4850 or HD4890
1 disk drive and 1 Hard drive and thats it.

if it's under $80 then it's probably rubbish.

 

[killa4lyfe]

well should i go with this one instead then?

That is certainly a far better choice. OCZ is a much better PSU company. They own PC Power & Cooling, who make very nice PSUs

 

[killa4lyfe]

would this be enough to run HD4890 by any chance?

Probably, but I would get a PSU that has 2 PCIe connectors.
