True, but if he is willing to go over, it would be a better PSU. It would provide much cleaner power with more stable voltages. The +12v rail on it never went under 12.02v at max load overclocked for me. And you know how they say weight can be used to measure quality to a degree? Well it weighs 7lbs, the same weight as the PCP&C 510 sli. That actually surprised me.
