I've purchased two of these EVGA power supplies. One was to replace an OEM power supply that died in a workstation at the store I manage. The other was in a budget computer build for my father. Both of them are still kicking and working flawlessly years later. For the price I'm not sure they can really be beat. Well, I mean, maybe they can but I'd buy more of these things without hesitation if I needed a quality power supply in an undemanding machine. EVGA is known for their quality and fantastic customer support (which I will wholeheartedly boast about having called them with assistance on one of their motherboards) and it shows in this power supply. It's packed elegantly, it's inexpensive, it's quiet, it has plenty of connectors for a system that you'd expect in this price range and it works extremely well. It's not incredibly energy efficient (only being 80+ "White") but for $30 it's a hell of deal for something of this quality. If you want/need something more efficient you'll want to look elsewhere but if efficiency is not a huge concern and you need a PSU on the cheap I'd definitely recommend it. I've seen shadier power supplies selling for more money. I know it's a very loose (and horribly inaccurate) measurement of quality, but if a power supply is really lightweight it's probably pretty terrible. This one has enough heft to it that you can be reasonably certain that it's good quality. Again, I'd buy more if I had the need to.

What can I say, it's a budget but solid Power Supply Unit from a trusted name brand. EVGA manufactures one of the best PSUs on the market. Back in the day I use to only buy PSUs from Corsair, but now things have changed. For $29.99 this an absolutely a great value for the money. Also to those who are wondering, don't let the price of this 430W PSU confuse you for something cheap. EVGA produce and manufacture high grade quality PSUs, yes even their budget ones are trust worthy. Also some people may feel, that they need to spend more money on a higher wattage PSU when really they don't need a higher wattage.I'm currently running this PSU with an MSi B250M Pro-VD motherboard, Intel Pentium G4560, EVGA GeForce GTX 1050 Ti FTW, Corsair Vengeance LPX 8GB 2400 MHz, WD Caviar Blue 1TB HDD, Kingston Hyper-X 240GB SSD. I am running my entire system off of one of these 430W PSUs and everything is running perfectly fine. Anyway this Power Supply Unit runs extremely quiet. Sometimes I forget it is even on unless I put my ear up close to my computer case. Now with that being said. I have nothing but positive feedback and good things to say about this product from EVGA. I would recommend this product to anyone looking for a solid PSU that won't hurt your wallet.Kind regards,-Ryan

Great Power SupplyI got this for my gaming rig it was nice and cheap and reliableThe only downside is that my graphics card eats up to much power. Now i did check before buying this power supply i checked my total power consumption on pcpartpicker and the power consumption was lower than this, But i guess i have to get something at least 100w over the total predicted power for my system, Thats all the cables are very sturdy and braided with a black net and theirs plenty of them as well.It also has a on and off switch witch is very usefulOverall good for the priceprosGood quality wires80+Has a switch to turn on and offgood amount of wires givenConsMake sure u check the amount of power needed in your system before buyingnothing else

I just got one of these to use as the power supply for my Printrbot Play. When I added a heated bed I needed the additional power and it called for an ATX power supply. I bought this because it was inexpensive, highly rated, and looked nice in Black. I now have it working and, despite the fan, it is essentially silent. I had to turn it off and wait until I could see the fan blades when it stopped to confirm that there was indeed a fan inside. Very nice.FYI, if someone out there needs a power supply for a similar (non-PC) requirement, be aware that it will not power on unless you turn on the obvious switch _AND_ short the Green wire (Pin 16) to any of the Black wires (I used Pin 17) on the main motherboard connector. This is expected for an ATX power supply, but I didn't know that. Thank you Wikipedia!
