This is not a brand I am famaliar with. All the reviews I see say New Zealand so im guessing you are there.

I would avoid it myself. Generally the high quality power supplys are known globally. Also you didnt post what you are going to SLI or the rest of your system. Its hard to tell what exactly will work without knowing specs.

I myself like Corsair power supplys. Here is a good site http://www.eggxpert.com/forums/thread/323050.aspx
Use tier T or above for SLI and max stability.

Though the specs look OK but I still recommend you to go with a good Brand Product.
Cuz no brand PSU are more prone to failures and may take other parts with them...

Buy PSU from Corsair,Antec,Seasonic,Enermax,OCZ only...
These are trusted brands and will last you longer.


BTW Which card you want to SLI?

The specs on your PSU say two 12 volt rails, each with a maximum of 26 amps. That is obviously not the max combined: 52 amps X 12 volts = 624 watts. 624 watts out of a 600 watt PSU? - don't think so.

Read the second line. It says maximum 12 volt wattage is 432 watts. That's 36 amps. That's around what a good 500 watt PSU will supply.

So it's not a very PSU then. I presume your an expert and evidently you know a lot more than what I do about PSUs. Does Antec and Cosair provide the best PSU's or is this just exaggerated.
