Are mercury psu's good

[vishalaestro]

psu's like xfx,corsair and antec costs more so that the other parts are hard to buy since hdd prices are up..the gfx is 6770 i can get mercury 450w psu's for only 15$ i have seen many computers with mercury psu's running for years with a 9500gt gfx card..can i go with a mercury psu

 

[mcnumpty23]

you can if you want

but i certainly wouldnt use a cheap psu--its the most important part of your pc really

 

[totalknowledge]

I cannot find any information on it whatsoever... which is typically a sign that it is not a quality psu. Go with something that is known to be good.

NO

I wouldn't put a Mercury PSU into your computer, let alone mine.

pls tell me a 450w psu cheaper than corsair ,xfx and antec but somewhat better quality..

Depends on what country you are buying in. US, if you hit it quick there is this one:

Unfortunately, short of specials and rebates, the lower limit of a good 400 watt PSU is about $40.

How about this:

If you have two power connectors on that card you should really pick up a unit with two connectors as well...

This unit has two, and its really not that bad price wise.

The lowest 6770 on Newegg right now is about 100. Are you really willing to throw 100 dollars away, because you wanted to save 20$ on a power supply? You can always just watch the specials until one comes along for less. Newegg routinely has items go on sale for about 20 to 30 in your required watt range with the appropriate connectors.
