xclio 550?
I think he was referring to this:
Newegg.com - XCLIO GREATPOWER X14S4P3 550W ATX12V 550W Power Supply 100-240V / 200-240V UL, CUL, TUV, CB, VDE, FIMKO, DEMKO, NEMKO, SEMKO - Retail
Here are some I'd personally recommend, though they are noticeably more expensive than that:
Newegg.com - PC Power & Cooling Silencer 610 EPS12V EPS12V 610W Continuous @ 40°C Power Supply 100 - 240 V UL, cUL, CE, CB, TUV - Retail
Newegg.com - CORSAIR CMPSU-520HX ATX12V v2.2 and EPS12V 2.91 520W Power Supply 100 - 240 V UL, CUL, CE, CB, FCC Class B, TUV, CCC, C-tick - Retail
I know how to recognize a good power supply based on stats... but finding one from a good brand that won't give out in four months is out of my class. As someone said, check the Power Supply Guide Sticky to get a general idea of good brands.
So basically if a power supply is not good it will not output as much power or will increase the chances of my system being short circuited?
basically whats the difference between a 200 dollar power supply vs 50 one.
