This a good PSU?

[knight_40k]

So I am thinking about getting this GPU...
http://ncix.com/products/?sku=69492&vpn=GV-R787OC-2GD&manufacture=Gigabyte&promoid=1382

and they are offering this PSU for $124 with purchase of that GPU

Looks like there is even a $40 rebate making it only $84! Is this a good PSU? Reliable? Performance?

Is it better than my current PSU?

yes, it is a bit better but not worth it. you could support sli 7870s with your current PSU, so there is no reason to spend the extra money on that PSU. it would not benefit you in any way besides it being slightly more efficient. i wouldn't buy it.

if you are willing to spend another 100 or so dollars i'd just buy a better GPU like this one http://ncix.com/products/?sku=70088&vpn=R7950%20Twin%20Frozr%203GD5%2FOC&manufacture=MSI%2FMicroStar&promoid=1382 it's MSI too, so it's a better company. they overclock really well.

Each HD 7870 will draw 13.4A at max load (161W/12V) http://forums.atomicmpc.com.au/index.php?showtopic=264
With the 62A +12V single rail your old PSU has, there is no real reason to upgrade it if dual 7870s is your only goal. The Corsair is a good quality PSU: http://www.jonnyguru.com/modules.php?name=NDReviews&op=Story5&reid=230

Thanks guys, good to know I have a good PSU. I was mostly asking because I wanted it for my other system, but it might be better to only buy it when I need it. I was just thinking because the price is so good being a $200+ PSU.
