trust me this is cheap for such a branded psu and great quality too.
you do not want to buy bad quality psu's this will end in disaster to your pc else.

Thanks! Think theres a scan warehouse few miles from me if thas the same... Although i was gonna take a look on ebay for cheaper... Any other brands which i should loook at and brands which i should miss?

Lets start a rage war, there are good kingwin psu,thermaltake, and lol you didnt say pc power and cooling thats funny, read up on johnnyguru your out of touch


edit- there are like 3 good antec psu's out of so many bad ones.

 

[Deleted member 362816]

thing is those makes are not as common as the brands i recommended in uk.
and tbh there is alot of makes, i am not out of touch i just provide the knowledge i have and to my very best ability.
but thanks for the concern

Not having correct knowledge about a products compare to that of a site like johnnyguru is just providing false information.-thanks for the concern.

 

[Deleted member 362816]

i dont know of a site known as johnnyguru.
and i am answering someones question who is in the uk.
as i said its easier to get the brands i stated above here.
please dont make this an argument.
as u said lets start a rage war...

thankyou for the info cia24.
but

pleas

do not bash my intelligence i go off experience more than paper.

Sure whatever you say captain.

I dont know about "pleas" but I will not bash your intelligence.

 

[Deleted member 362816]

you really are a very shallow person

arnt

you.
just drop it.

I think you mean aren't and no I'm not.

 

[lukey2k10]

To be honest im very grateful for your info... Been searching all day for one... Never knew what brands were good and what were rubbish and i were looking at cheap under £30 ( never thought how critical the psu is... I always overlooked it )

 

[Deleted member 362816]

yes a bad psu is the issue to many pc's been unstable and performing under its rated spec.
however the ocz line of psu's are good quality and for the price you found it for its quite a good deal.

OCZ power supplies are a budget brand some are good some are bad but most are in the middle. Since you dont have a major gpu like a gtx 570 or 580 it doesn't really matter though.

 

[lukey2k10]

Thanks, its a low budget cpu from what i can see but i just wnt a simple desktop as reasonable spec and speed for programming work and ligh gaming ( call of duty series med quality, fifa 09 etc ) but as long as the psu dont fry the components

 

[lukey2k10]

call of duty and fifa are hardly intensive games to run on any system.
you will be fine with your chosen psu.
if you are unsure you can always look at other brands that me and cia24 have posted for you

Thanks, all i needed to know, shame intel integrated graphics are useless !!
