A lack of info using means it isn't. I can vouch for EVGA Bronze 80+ and that is the same price range. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIA24G28N5252&cm_re=EVGA_Bronze_80%2b-_-17-438-012-_-Product Note - I have checked the PDA from the manufacturers website and you Antec is less than Bronze. Its a bad power supply, avoid it. Upvote 0 Downvote

Here is a good one $79 but $49 after mail-in rebate: http://www.ncixus.com/products/?usaffiliateid=1000031504&sku=97531&vpn=110-B2-0750-VR&manufacture=eVGA&promoid=1115 Upvote 0 Downvote
