They are less preferred imo but they make good psus.

The specific psu is solid. What are you powering with it?

no

A 500-600w bronze would do. 

You should be able to find a cheap  xfx 550w, cx500 or cx600.

You get what you pay for. I would avoid OCZ like the plague that they are...atleast their PSUs.

OCZ makes decent psus...

had a 1200W OCZ, returned it mainly because I went overkill on my power needs

 

but my highest dislike is that none of the connectors on the PSU side felt solid. if I tugged too much on the cables in the back panel, they would shift around in their PSU socket. they didn't fall out, but it didn't feel good - on a 1200W PSU I think that's inexcusable

 

they didn't even click when being pushed in
