INTRODUCTION
Hardly a day goes by that someone doesn't ask us if this PSU or that PSU will drive a system. Often the choices made are more based on price and bling than the actual quality of the PSU. Price and Bling are two of the last things you should look at when it comes to PSU. Having been in the computer business for as long as computers have been around I've seen almost every PSU horror story play out that you can imagine.
I've seen systems that are worth hundreds and thousands of dollars fall to poor PSU choices. I've seen one PSU kill two motherboards in a row because they thought buying a flea market PSU was a good idea. I've seen video cards that cost $300 (USD) and more die because people thought their PSU would be enough to drive the GPU. You name it I've seen it. Including a $20 dollar 650 Watt PSU burn down part of a house. Computer PSU's aren't something to skimp on.
Generally the two schools of thought run something like this. "I've never had a problem with my (insert name here) PSU and I've been using it for 3 years, I bought it because it was cheap." Then there's the; "I only use the best PSU's because my system is expensive and important to me." The first school of thought there's 2 things wrong with that, it's 3 years old and PSU loose efficiency with time, so your paying for a new PSU on the electric bill. Second it's a cheap PSU. Very seldom do you see good and cheap in the same sentence when it concerns PSU. That's because they are almost always mutually exclusive. The second school of thought, those in the know, we applaud you.
You can take your chances in the PSU crap shoot and go cheap, or you can buy a quality PSU like the Seasonic M12D 850 Watt Modular and know that you will enjoy a long safe computing experience. Keep in mind that cheap PSU might still be running but, PSU that are cheap don't provide good solid voltage so every time you push that button your shortening the life of your computer. Be smart, go with a good quality PSU from a manufacturer like Seasonic that will provide years of good service and keep that gaming shrine safe from the dreaded flea market PSU catastrophe.
