I need to upgrade the PSU in my Dell Inspirion 530 (Q6600 + 2 hard drives) so that I can stick in a GPU (HD 5830).

Is the AzzA Dynamo 850W PSU any good? I know it doesn't have the 80+ certification... I am getting it for $40 brand new in box locally so that is what is driving me to buy this particular unit.

Hi - it is not very efficient, and might be a tad on the aggressive side
for publ specs, but new in the box for $40 it is a pretty good deal.
There are no quality reviews of it, but the OEM Superflower
now makes decent to excellent quality PSU's. However, in the past
they may not have always done so.

The Azza might be an older unit.

I read the link posted above, it is a user forum, not a review
site. If you are concerned then you need to start searching
forums.
