Posted October 1, 2019 If you wanna go cheap, no problem. Except the PSU. NEVER cheap out on the PSU, NEVER. They can explode and some actually have in the past. You can get a good one for like, 50 bucks. If you don't want your house burning down which is a possiblity with that psu, just spend a bit of money on a decent PSU. If you want my attention, quote meh!

Posted October 1, 2019 I agree with @samcool55 Just buy a psu from a well known brand. Don't risk your pc components getting damaged. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted October 1, 2019 I’m not tech expert but same as @samcool55 and @Jpo_Fett I think that it is not good idea to put PSU like this in build especially when good, not high end PSU’s are available for good money and something better than no name should last longer than warranty says. The weird thing (if I can call it like that in case of no name PSU that is from China) is that as I know, declared wattage should be equal to Amper x Voltage and in this case 23A x 12V = 276w so that’s the power you get, but in that case you can’t even be sure about that. In my opinion going for cheap, unknown PSU’s isn’t worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I know that generally most of electronics are made in China but I meant that the PSU is something like no name, dangerous Chinese brand thing that you don’t know what to expect from it.
