I would classify that brand as generic.

Not much use asking us about the build after you've already ordered the parts.

i did not order the parts yet .only the power supply .
because the one i have now .2 week old only have 2 -15 pin sata connecter .now the new dvd use a sata connecter no more of that big fat cable .well you know what i mean .so my 2 week old power supply only have 2 .the new one have 4 sata connecter .so right now i use one for the hard drive and one for my new dvd .but they are really close to each other .so i had to lower my dvd closer to my hard drive .
not a big deal .
not only that it is a 680 .the one i use now is a 500 .
as for the rest of the part maybe i will order the case .the mobo.and the prosessor .not sure yet ?????.friday maybe .
so by next month i should have all the parts .

The only problem with generic PSUs like that, is what happens when they fail (and in my experience, power supplies are the most unreliable component of all). Cheapo PSUs have a nasty tendency to take out other components when they die, decent ones will fail gracefully and not hurt anything else.

I've had 5 PSU failures over the last 10 years, and because they were all decent makes, there wasn't a single item of collateral damage :)

BTW, you can use SATA to Molex adapters if you need to:

thank you .
so do you thing that i should look for a better one with a led fan on top .
like a 800 watts or so

you see i am very crazy with led stuff .lol

right now on my build 3 week ago i have 10 led fans in it .
5- 120 .and 5- 80 plus 3 lazer light .
it is looking really good .
it is a drr2 and it so fast .when i click on a page you cant not even count to 2 and it there .fast one i go here so far

I don't see that you really need an 800Watt power supply. A decent quality 500 Watt should do you, and will often put out more power than a cheap "700 Watt" (which never put out anything like what is claimed). Good brands are honest about the power output.

I've got a nice Corsair in my main rig which has pretty blue LEDs on the fan. Other excellent brands are Tagan, OCZ, Thermaltake, Enermax, Hiper, Xion, PC Power & Cooling.

thank you .but i just did check the tracking for that apevia and it be here this after noon .
so i am stuck with for now ..
but i will not have all the parts till nov i thing .
this friday i will order the mobo .the cpu and the fans .

Post a link to the store that you intend to purchase from.
That way, members here can suggest alternatives if/when required.

by the way i did not pay the 120.00 for that power supply .
i got 60.00 off on it .
the site is [newegg.ca ] .
same as newegg.com..
really fast shipping and the shipping is really sheap shipping .
i have been buying from them for a long time .
the only problem .they do not have a lot of parts in canada .
i say 80% are from [nj] us .some from al or ca .but not that many are from there if they are from there it will take about 10 day before you get the parts .
i am using the sheapess way to ship .porulator
so when a part is from al the truck will take the part to bc canada this is were the store is .from there they ship it to me here in ontario .toronto .then to chatham .then to me here
but from nj it about 3 day .let say 4 day .

if youre looking for upgrades try going the AMD Phenom II x6 1075 processor. Its 150$ generally and is ranked extremely high for performance per dollar.

I actually had a thermaltake 750w Bronze edition that was unable to power my processor, motherboard, one harddrive, and video card alone...would shut off after 10 seconds of running at half fan speed on the processor. I loved the power supply it just had the wrong power rating. Went with an off-brand 900w

now if you check core 2 and core 6 you will see what they say about going core 6 it is a wast of money .

Did not see any video card on the list.
The GIGABYTE GA-970A-D3 does not have onboard video.
