Question Is this power supply OK for a 670?

[alexcoulter111]

Hi there,
I picked up a Leaper RGB case for $20 with a Aywun 800w A1-8000. I build PC's occasionally to sell on Gumtree and I have seen conflicting info about this psu. I was going to use it for a GTX 670 build but the 670 requires 30A on the 12V rail and the psu only has 26A. What do you think?

Proposed specifications:
i5-4670
Stock LP cooler
Q87 Dell Mobo
6GB RAM
GTX 670 2GB
750GB HDD
Aywun A1-8000
Leaper RGB Case

Thanks in advance

That PSU is very dodgy, never heard of that brand before. It's not even listed on this PSU tier list. Try getting at least an 80 Plus Bronze rating if it's a gaming PC.

It is not for me and I don't care about how long it lasts as long as it is more than a week. Do you think the 4 missing amps will make a difference. I do not have the budget for another psu.

If you're selling a PC on Gumtree, knowing that it won't last, they will probably just take it back to you.

Also selling a product that you know has a high probability of failing or potentially causing damage (some cheap PSU's have literally caused fires) is just bad business and unethical. There are plenty of decent bargain PSU's on the market.

I think, don’t do it.

Can you recommend some in Australia?
