Sadly the antec is unavailable, I looked for seasonic PSU as well, but none of them are available. :(

Any idea about FSP Hydro 500W? looks cheap tho.

Hey dood, I'm also from Indonesia, so I feel your pain.

1STPLAYER brand PSU and peripherals recently begun creeping on our local computer stores. But as the others have said, I'd stay away from this brand. This brand is a "gaming" oriented Chinese brand that makes multitude of computer peripherals: PSUs, keyboards, mouse, headsets, mousepads, and fans. Or should I say, the "Corsair business model". 1STPLAYER are among the lower tier of computer brands, probably on the same level or even lower than other new-ish Chinese brands like Armageddon/PowerLogic, Sades, Rapoo, Elephant, VenomRx, etc.

I would suggest keep hunting that Seasonic power supplies, or at the very least you could opt for XFX-branded PSU, they use Seasonic as OEM (except the XT series, which are only designed by Seasonic but manufactured by Shenzhen Rui Sheng Yuan Technology, who also manufactures EVGA's budget line). Or, you could go for FSP (they also make PSU for Indonesia's local brand Digital Alliance) or SuperFlower (they are EVGA's OEM). But still, my gut says, even the cheapest XFX XT would be a lot better for your PC than 1STPOWER.

Below are snippets from the About Us page of 1STPOWER's website (these are not Google Translation).

Enjoy.

I Finally picked Antec Pure Power 550W
Costed a bit over the budget, but at least I won't worry about my PC being blown up anymore. thanks for the advice btw :D
