Cooler Master Elite Power 400W

[Lokc]

I'm building a PC on a budget, and this is the cheapest PSU with a popular brand I can find. Does anyone have any experience with it?

what are your pc specs/configuration?

aim for a seasonics s12g 450-550 or xfx ts 550,
an evga 500B psu may work temporarily.

i wanted to recommend ... something but even the lower quality psus are over 70 bucks on pcpartpicker.
i noticed that the psu price wasn't included in the tally.
