I have recently been looking at PSUs and found this one. I am POSITIVE this is the wattage I want. I do not want to get a more powerful PSU then that and don't need it, but I am wondering if it is a good one. It has a 5 star rating on newegg.
 
Never used that one but i have a cooler master psu and am very happy. Read what other people who have purchased the PSU are saying on newegg.
 
I have one. Great for what it costs. I'm running a 9600GT at the moment and I'm sure running two of those wouldn't be a problem.

Just a side note... the PSU does get a bit noisy even if it says it has that temperature self adjusting fan speed thing... The problem with that is they put the thermostat near the hottest thing on the PSU which makes the fan run 100% all the time. If that doesn't bother you than it should be great. The fan is hardly noticable after awhile.
 
Firstly it would be great if you added a link to the PSU that you are refering to.

Secondly, what system are you running because wattage means nothing. That is a low quality PSU and to be honest I wouldn't use it. It has low efficiency, and has insufficient power on the 12V rails for a decent system, and is only ATX 2.3 design standard meaning it cannot truely provide dual rail power output.

Avoid. Post your specs and I will help you get a quality PSU.
