Is this PSU total garbage?

My PSU is dying, keeps shutting down. I just bought a 6600GT to tide me over till I get a new system which I was hoping would be early to middle next year but not interested in moving PSU to that system, hence want to keep price down. I do have a 15$ credit from Newegg, if I must I will go for a better PSU.

i would not buy it at all, in fact if it was given to me free i wouldnt risk it

you'll get a $33 PS, and all the leaky caps money can buy

Thanks, I guess I will be better off getting this http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16817103935 or the 450 Watt for $70
I did 3 wattage need charts and came up with needing about 330, will the 400 be good enough? I am trying not to put too much into an old system, already went for the video.

much better. antec makes good powersupplies. also, if you spend a bundle on an expensive videocard, why would you wanna power it with a $30 PS? hehe

Antec power supplies are goood stuff.

Do you think the 400 is enough? I don't plan on adding anything else to the system.
Thanks for the input.

400 is definately more than enough. However, if you're looking for a cheaper quality PSU, check out the XClio 450W with dual 12V rails for only about $50!

The only downside is that they're not in stock right now, so you'll have to wait a while...

Why get a worse quality when I can get an ANTEC in stock with my $15 discount plus the shipping comes to $47

 

[t3h l337 n3wb]

Who said it was worse in quality... XClio makes OEM's for Antec, Fortron, Sparkle, and many other reputable PSU companies. Anyways, for your parts, even a low-end PSU will suffice.

THis is probably enoguh...22amps on the 12v. Enermax 300watt. Only 25 dollars too.

Edit: XClio does not make anyone's psu's, however the company that makes antec's psu's also makes xclio's. Fortron is not made by the same company, I think that they are made by fsp, as well as sparkle, although I might be wrong on the fsp part.

you said it was cheaper quality, just quoting what you said
"However, if you're looking for a cheaper quality PSU, check out the XClio 450W with dual 12V rails for only about $50!"
Anyway it's not in stock and I want my desktop back ASAP.
I am going to see Tuesday if I can pirate something from work to hold me over.
