Hi ther MYBB people.

I would like to know whats your verdict on this PSU. Accordion to this review it can deliver more than 450w

I can get it at ComX computers for R831. It look way better than the gigabyte odin 585w to me

o btw I'm going to power the following
ATI 4770 (also overclocking)
Core 2 Quad Q8400 (going to overclock this 30% or more)
4GB DDR3 1333 2x2GB
seagate 500GB HDD
4 x 120mm fans
MSI P45 mobo

According to corsair they said that I only need a 450W

jip I own a Corsair TX650W psu and power the following no problem.

4GB DDRII 800mhz (4x1GB)
5 x sataII HDD
7 x 120mm fans
MSI GTX280
Q9450 2.66GHz (overclocked to 3.2GHz)
also got 2 external hdd connected via USB


I also think that price is good consider that the PSU is actually under rated. ALso love the 5 year warranty

The best thing I like about the PSU is that it only got 1x 12v rail that I googled is better than multiple rails.

ok I can get the 450W at Ikonic for R800 now. I'm gonna check at rage what they ask there for the corsair and BFG
 
I own a VX450 and it's a seriously wonderful PSU. Stable, quiet and good value
 
I'm bit worried about the BFG psu as the efficiency isn't that great only about 80% where's the Corsair is about 85% at full load now that is very good.

Otherwise if I'm wrong please tell me why I should take the BFG PSU over the Corsair.
