My cousein reccommended that I post this power supply here to see if its any good. Im looking at these things in it:

Volume (is it loud as all hell?)
Will it last along with the parts connected to it

Thanks for the help that can be provided in any way shape or form.

I've never heard of that brand. I'd be more comfortable with an Antec, Enermax, Fortron, or Sparkle PSU. Fortron makes a unit with the undermounted 120mm LED fan, Newegg should have it.
 
I don't know the answer to this one. I've never heard of that brand, either.

That's the only power supply I've ever seen that has one of the fans outside of the PS casing. Don't think I'd care for that.

Welcome to AT. There are some really smart folks here. I am not one of them (just so you know).
 
Check the numbers; something doesn't add up. Total amperage adds up to over 470 watts, so they're lying about part or all of the specifications. (At the very least, the amperage ratings mean next to nothing, because they could mean almost anything.)

Screw that PSU company if they can't offer straightforward ratings.

EDIT: Holy s---! That one at Directron is even worse! Over 530 watts; therefore, that 22A rating, and all of the amperage ratings, mean nothing because they could mean anything.

Once again, screw that PSU company if they can't offer straightforward ratings.

There's one consistent thing I've noticed about cheap PSUs: The numbers don't add up, and therefore, are meaningless!
 
Yes that one, wierd I always check my links and I thought that one worked, thank you for catching it. I saw a couple of guys recomending the Fortron over at silentpcreview.com, they said it was quiet and a solid performer in that price range. Nice that it has a 120mm fan sitting right above the cpu
 
If you have a low end system, 18A will be enough. Otherwise, I would recommend getting an Enermax or some other supply which has more than 18A (more the better) on the 12V power rail.
 
If it's not a PC Power & Cooling, Antec, Enermax, Sparkle, Fortron, Zalman, Seasonic, OCZ, Ultra, Thermaltake, it probably won't get approval from AT members.
