is Delta 800w power supply reliable and recomeneded for my setup.

So I bought this Delta Electronics TDPS 825 AB B 800w power supply.

It is going to run my core i5 2400
8gb ram
Asus strix gtx 960(will buy in a month)

Got it for 25$ . Sold previous Chinese cheap power supply for 15$ so only added 10$.

So this power supply is enormous. It does not fit my case but it will after I use pliers and cutters.
So question is . Will it be worth it to cut my cheap case and install this power supply.

Is it a good power supply?
Will it increase my electricity bill or will only pull power needed for the system from the wall.

I would not use that power supply. It is a cheap one and the PSU should be the single best part you have in your computer. Look for a tier 1 or 2 PSU it will be much better and you will not have to cut it. http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/id-2547993/psu-tier-list.html

I heard delta made the best PSU.

 

[IntelTurtleFan]

No. It is not a good brand.

 

[usmansajidrocks]

Well delta makes power supply for antec and other good brands..

Delta is one of the best OEMs on the market.

That PSU only has two 75 Watt 6-pin PCI Express supplementary power connectors.

Make sure that the GeForce GTX 960 card that you buy doesn't use any 150-Watt 8-pin PCI-E Supplementary Power Connectors. The ASUS GTX 960 STRIX OC 2 GB [STRIX-GTX960-DC2OC-2GD5] only uses one 75 Watt 6-pin PCI Express supplementary power connector so you'll be fine.

But Asus strix uses 130w

 

[usmansajidrocks]

Will extending 24pin by soldering be of any risk ?

 

[ko888]

But Asus strix uses 130w

techPowerUp.com measured a maximum power draw of 147 Watts during their review of the ASUS GTX 960 STRIX.

The graphics card can draw a maximum of 75 Watts from the PCI-E x16 graphics card slot on the motherboard and another 75-Watts from the 6-pin PCI-E power connector for a total theoretical maximum power draw of 150 Watts. TechPowerUp.com shows that the actual power draw may come very close to the theoretical maximum.

Why do you need to do any soldering?

You can buy an extension cable:

No. It is not a good brand.

Please tell me you're kidding and not just spouting off without any actual knowledge.

I am soldering because I can't these extensions in my area.
