Is this power supply good?

[ArmieChi]

Hi guys, I wondering if this Psu is any good. http://www.ebay.ca/itm/Black-Hercules-micro-ATX-500W-Silent-Power-Supply-20-24pin-SATA-/310370407715?pt=PCA_UPS&hash=item4843849523&_uhb=1

I intend to use a radeon 7750 with this Psu and I'm kinda short on cash so can any of you guys tell me if this psu is any good considering the price.

Not very good, The xfx 55o watt is a very nice psu or event the corsair builder or cx 430 watt is better.

No name eBay PSU;s can damage your pc. I would recommend using a reputable brand such as corsair. Any psu should work for that card as it doesn't use that much power. Just remember to use a quality brand.

It won't fit anyway, its not a standard size, the screw holes on the case won't line up with it.

Also, it lists the max load levels down below, 22A on the 12V rail is like 300W PSU range, not 500W PSU. Its not a good PSU and it is marginal on if its specs could even power your system assuming it did have good internals.

No find a good 400 or slightly higher, at a minimum 16-18 AMPs on the 12 volt rail

These 2 are decent if your on a budget and have an ATX case.

Btw which Psu is better, the EVGA one or the corsair one you posted?

 

[Dark Lord of Tech]

Both are fairly equal , pick one.

Corsair would be my pick.

Thanks, but why would the Corsair be your pick?
