Its cheaply made (will most likely die in a year) and and has a mountain of 5v.

This is a low quality PSU, probably with low AMP's in the +12v rail, and its brandless.... those are not recommended to any high - end computers / users.

never go cheap on a psu , most cheap psus will fry other part/s when they fail.. , imagine how youll feel if it will take down the hd with all of your important data.. or fry the mobo after the warranty ended.. , and as alredy said they cant handle high end pcs
