Since you would like to save money now and probably destroy your mobo , cpu and whatever else in a year or so, it is your choice!
You are trying to go cheap on the most inportant part of the computer!
I can only reiterate what I said above, you are putting the entire computer at risk. Those PSUs with names that nobody has ever heard of are built using the cheapest and nastiest components they can find, with all overload and thermal protection circuits omitted, and with no quality control whatsoever. I doubt they even check that they work before shipping them from the factory :rolleyes:
Note that a PSU wattage rating is simply the sum of the wattage on the different rails. It is, therefore, possible for two PSUs of identical ratings to be very different. My 600W PSU has 58 amps supply on the 12V rail, whereas that Auriga unit has only 39 amps spread over two 12V rails. It has plenty of amperage on the 3.3V and 5V rails, but you don't need that much there.
I must agree with the others, that doesn't sound like a good investment. That Thermaltake, on the other hand - sweet.;) Good brand, good quality; that 140mm cooling fan will move a LOT of warm air very quietly, as well.
Alright then, thanks for letting me know I could of bought a crappy power supply and done some damage there. I am going for the 600 watt Thermaltake.
Aned if you had one of each in your hands, that Thermaltake will feel like it weighs twice as much. Another good hint!
