I don't plan on OC, I just want to play games like dayz, Minecraft, civilization, star citizen, and possibly bf4 and call of duty.

You never want to skimp on the power supply it can take your entire system with it when it fails seen it way too many times in my history of repairs of other peoples computers.

I'm aware of why you shouldn't use a cheap/bad one. What makes you think that's one of them? Simply because of who made it? It's not a horrid unit like some of theirs. According to this there are no real reviews of that model yet.

I admit it's a raidmax, and worse it's made by Andyson. So odds are it's not a great unit. But newegg is bundling it and I've seen worse PSUs. As I said, don't OC anything and you'll be ok.

It's not the greatest, but it should be alright. I wouldn't overclock anything.

Raidmax psus are some of the worst you can get.

Raidmax is not known for their good power supplies. It is a combo, so you still have to build it.

Why not just buy the parts separately? Only $632 and you get an OS, all from newegg.
