Seasonic-built, whisper quiet. Powers pretty much any single GPU on the market. Only used once, have the original box.

Asking price is $25. I'm just south of Cleveland.


Thanks for looking!
 
400 W is very low. I don't think it can handle medium tier graphic cards.

Good deal for people who only use a computer to browse, email or watch youtube though.

It definitely can, it's more than enough. Depends on the video card. If you're spending $300 on a video card, your not spending $25 on a 400w PSU. If you're buying a $350 card, you need a minimum 500 watts. Which is why Jay said correctly it will power really any single gpu on the market. Now in crossfire, definitely not.

I would say this psu would power 95% of the 4xxx and 5xxx cards. Briefly look at a bunch of the 5550, 5670, 4xxx, minimum power is 400w. So you would be in good shape with this PSU. People like to overpower things.

Corsair's are the best PSU's, in my opinion.

I've seen people needlessly buy 1000+w psu's because they were unaware of what was needed to power their system.
