I'd go with a more reputable company like Antec, Thermaltake, or NZXT.

Most power supplies of around 500W or more will be easily enough. Don't buy into the idea that the more watts the better your computer will be. Over 600 is probably overkill. And brand is very important with a PS.

Better spend $10 more on a reputable PSU, no?

Agreed. Overkill is good as long as it doesn't empty the wallet (overpriced).

Yeah, and a 650W of a good PSU, will be better than a 700W of an unknown...

Rather get a good make
