Plenty of power, but not sure about quality. The brand is not known for making quality stuff, so my instink says "stay away". I can't find a single quality review on it either, which also causes me concern. I'd reccomend going with a known good quality unit like a 500W Seasonic or a 550W Corsair. If you want some growing room for future upgrades. Get something like a 750W Corsair or PCP&C...good luck :beer:

I just read a review on jonnyguru for a new Tagan that has some nice bling to it. If you can find it, it'd be a good choice:D
 
Got an Apevia psu once. The only thing I got out of it is headache. End up tied to my car bumper and went for a nice ride! Now that thing don't give me headache anymore. For me the PSU is one of the more important part of the system. Don't go cheap on them. If you have access to the classified, Oklahoma Wolf (Johnnyguru) always have some review units for sale.
 
Just like the others said, it's not of good quality.

I would do a PSU mod if you want something to be flashy; you don't need to buy a gimmick.
 
Seasonic is a good choice too, they make half Corsair's units anyway.
