Knowing GIGABYTE, I would avoid their PSUs.

 

See if you have SeaSonic or XFX PSUs around.

'Fanboyism is stupid' - someone on this forum.

Be nice to each other boys and girls. And don't cheap out on a power supply.

I'd look at other PSUs since there are better ones at possibly lower prices, but that doesn't meant all Gigabyte PSUs are bad. Their Odin lineup is actually pretty good/great, but it's really hard to find them, if you can at all, based on my experience here. 

The ability to google properly is a skill of its own.
