I'd recommend against it.

See my thread Here for the reasons why.

Cliffs:

- Replaced a 460W Enermax with that Tagan.
- 12v rail was running 11.6 down to 11.3 or lower under load.
- System was flipping a sh*t with stability.
- RMA'd the Tagan, put the Enermax back in, all was well.

Tagan is one of the biggest and best brands in mainland Europe (Germany/Holland/Belgium). I speak quite frequently to a couple of Dutch enthusiasts and Tagan is one of the best brands he has to choose from.

Being from the UK, Id not particularly choose Tagan, especially when I have Antec, Seasonic and Enermax to name a few.

It's not that TT is horrible by any means, it's just that there are more viable options.

This 450w will be more than enough to power your rig. It has a combined +12v of 32a and the 120mm fan is extremely quiet.

As far as i've heard (in the Custom PC mag) the Seasonic S12 600W Silent ATX2.0 Power Supply is the Guineapigs Goolies. 100 Quid to you.
