Most of them are made by Topower. Some are good some are not, kinda of a 50/50 thing.

I know someone that bought a decent one that ran right up to what it said it was rated at and not broken a sweat, upgraded to another tagen PSU at higher wattage thinking it would be good to upgrade and it went with a couple of months sucks to be them

Yeah, Topower can make a really good power supply, then some models 12V rail will just die underload. I would not say just dont buy one, if you see a good deal on one just read some reviews about it first. I have a old ePower/Topower/Zumax (what ever they want to call them) and it has been a really good supply.

Hiper are similar, they make some awesome power supplies that can easily match the likes of corsair, but then they will go and bring out a god awful unit

Dont skimp on a power supply,if it fails, it usually takes out other components alongside it.
New? Dont forget to read the rules, Ignorance is not a defense.

Why a GTX 295 do you really need a card like that to me that card is over kill. More power to you if you get it though maybe I will get one if the price is ever cut in half but by that time it will be outdated.

Rubbish brand but probably enough amperage.

I agree with the above posts.

What resolution do you play at?
