This is why you go for a respectable company ALWAYS when buying a PSU. (Antec etc.) It may be more expensive then these cheapo 500w psus that barely go 300 but you get what you pay for. A long lasting dependable PSU. with PSUs you always get what you pay for. If you pay almost nothing I can assure you that PSU doesn't live up to specs and/or will fail really fast.
