Yeah I never heard of the brand either. I have a 650W in the computer I have right now, I think, might only be 550W...
PSU had good reviews though, might almost be worth to take the gamble since it is sooooo cheap. I mean it isn't 80 PLUS certified or anything but I question how much one actually saves in $$ per year going with a "energy efficient" one

But I think I'll wait a while....

I don't think that MB can do SLI =\ Just crossfire.
DIE ATI!!
I probably wouldn't get another card'
actually maybe I should look one that supports SLI

better to go for the better card than to SLI two lesser cards in my experience.
also, index a crappy PSU can take out your motherboard, and everything on your board, its a risk I'll never take again.
PSU caught on fire and fused the connector to the board, fried everything but the video card and hard drives.
All because I wanted to save $20... bad choice.

I think I may go with this one instead actually. The BIOS for that GigaByte are convenient I guess for new people since it looks like some toy computer's screen but I worry that over-bearing intuivness might have restricted features... plus I think I do want at least the option of doing SLI
MSI P67A-GD80 (B3) Intel P67 Express Motherboard - ATX, Socket H2 (LGA1155), Intel P67 Express, 2133MHz DDR3 (O.C.), SATA 6.0 Gb/s, RAID, 8-CH Audio, Gigabit LAN, USB 3.0
Plus this one has 6 USB 3.0 ports vs just 2, and 14 other USB2.0. Looks better too, IMO
Hmm that is true Jezza. I might need to look for another
Oh dang and this has a 6 channel output too? I can finally use speakers that aren't just stereo
