Hi
A-Power has long been a bottom tier brand, and lack of a UL certification file number on the label is itself a very bad sign. You should never go cheap on a power supply and I'm sorry but saying that this is 750 watts is deceptive, avoid this supply if you want any reliability.

ok thanks i will get a different power supply. what about a http://www.amazon.com/Raidmax-Hybrid-ATX12V-EPS12V-RX-530SS/dp/B000TYN2PC/ref=sr_1_25?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1312781332&sr=1-25

Get an OCZ/Antec tier 2 power supply-I don't think cheap PSUs are worth the risk of current instability and frying your motherboard.

i found a OCZ power supply: http://www.amazon.com/OCZ-ModXStream-Modular-Performance-compatible/dp/B001EYV690/ref=sr_1_10?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1312837255&sr=1-10      is this a good quality power supply ?

if you want a high quality power supply, i would get an antec from newegg and yes, i think 750 would be enough power for your needs.

OCZ's are fine units...never had an issue with 1....

After years of replacing burned out PSU's, I've finally settled on just one brand.  ANTEC Earthwatts nnn

I have one main system and one backup system and both are currently running Antec Earthwatts 750's

On most PSU's, (read the label carefully) the posted power rating is the Maximum One-Time Surge wattage.
That's the power that the PSU can supply for the first second or two after it's turned on, to charge the mobo cap's and start the fans and drive motors.  Then de-rate that number by 20% to 30%,  for the all day running wattage.

Shop carefully and don't get ripped off by a cheap PSU!  Eh?
Many retail stores like "Staples" now sell only Antec power supplies.

Cheers mate!

A couple of things to add to this thread.

$31 for a 750 watt power supply is a real red flag.  I'm surprised Amazon would even offer this product.  It's a dog.

If you have to replace a PSU I would always go for the biggest wattage I could afford.  Then two years down the road when you decide to add more stuff, a bigger video card or whatever, you don't need to worry about the PSU being strong enough, and needing to replace the PSU again.  It's cheaper in the long run.
