    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:

    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.

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

    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 .
