a friend of mine is wanting a small upgrade so hes going for:
a cheap psu: Extra Value 550W ATX Silent Neon PSU - 12cm Fan/PPFC (no power cord) - Ebuyer
a x1959pro
and some pc3200 ddr ram
i've told him that buing a cheap psu like in the link will just cause it to break especially if put under pressure with a mid level gfx card. I've also told him that it may literally blow up and take some other components with it.
He wants to know why the psu in the link above is not as good as say as a branded one. He wants a better response than "the ebuyer one is too cheap to be good"
many thanks in anyone that can help!!!!
