    Usually in budget builds a lot of people use the Corsair 430W, however I've just noticed that EVGA do a similar spec'd PSU with an extra years warranty for less money.

    Anybody have any experience with EVGA power supplies? I've been a corsair/coolermaster user/fan for a long time.

    I made the switch last month.
    Very impressed so far compared to my Corsair and Silverstone PSU's.

    Using a G2 Supernova 1000Watt.

    I imagine the higher priced units are OK, I got given one to use in a build for a friend a few months back and it seemed OK (fully modular jobby). Just wondering about the cheaper units, I mean on paper the specs look OK and the quality looks ok from a photo but it's hard to tell.

    Might have to get one and try it for the money.

    Did you get the G550M ? If so I've used quite a few of them and tbh I'm fairly impressed especially for the money.

    I recall seeing some budget psu reviews and the EVGA ones doing very well / being recommended. They just kinda showed up out of nowhere a couple years ago, and have been pretty solid. Not sure on prices of their mid and higher end / wattage stuff, but for low wattage, they seem to have extremely competitive prices, and EVGA have some great warranties and support.

    I've used a SuperNOVA G2 750 watt unit and it was absolutely superb. Top, top quality unit. Oh, and it has a ten year warranty. Surely that tells you that EVGA are confident in their product. ;)

    Their high end stuff is top notch, the budget stuff is average.

    From what I've researched Be quiet do a very similar low power unit, the L7 I believe which is based on the same design but has better components, better ripple control and voltage stability.
