    A decent 500W PSU can supply power better than a 1200W no name (it's all lies). A simple test of PSU is to pick it up. If it is light it should go in the bin in most cases.
    That test dosent work any more as they have started putting weights in them to fool you.

    Really?

    Would not put it past some, but I go to manufacturers models I know are good.

    Even some big name makes are really poor stuff! (Though it does depend on the range).

    I would thing you could see weights inside though the vents though. unless they are dressing them up as componants and really that's not gonna keep the cost down.
