Question

Will this power supply (http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=3930691&CatId=3669)

Answer 1

yes it will

Answer 2

Short answer, yes. However, the powersupply is no longer available.

And don't go to tigerdirect. Go to newegg.com. Better prices and vastly better customer service.

Answer 3

No, no, no, no. Please, do not buy that Apevia power supply. It's a shoddy YoungYear build, and is prone to actually melting the plastic housing well before reaching its rated output. Inside, it's really just a generic 500-something watter! Some Apevia units are a bit better, but all are crudely made within their price range and power output class.

Hideous review of similiar 500 watt Apevia:

That card needs at least 500 honest watts, preferably closer to 600, when installed in a worthy system.

PCP&C is one of the best, and this month, affordable because of a nice rebate.

Here's a few good ones:

Corsair's TX-series is a high end all Japanese capacitor CWT build. These go into lots of serious gaming machines.

Antec's are generally okay now that they've learned to stop buying really subpar capacitors back a few years ago. Good price on a probably very decent supply.

Prone to ripple so best with 400 watt or lower draw. Only if you want to save cash. It's just an FSP Epsilon, so at least it's fairly decent otherwise. Just note that OCZ gives ten days from when Newegg SHIPS for you to postmark your rebate. If you miss the dealine, the company will often give you the rebate anyway if you contact them on the Web.
