No, never buy a no name brand powersupply and expect it to be good. That thing sucks.

Only buy a true wattage powersupply. A 500W powersupply that is not a true wattage one will maybe give out 300watts after its heated up and has a load on it.

Zalman and Antec are the ones I have used in the past and have had good luck with. Remember, your powersupply has the potential of destorying your whole system if it fries.

another good brand to add to the list-hiper
I have had a hiper modular for 3 months now, and it runs perfectly

That thing probably wouldn't even spin the 8800's fan

Haha, seriously, it's very weak. Wattage is not everything, you need many more amps.
