Good price on a 500W 80+ PSU. High 5-eggs rating (also 5* at Amazon, which almost price matched it down to $35.99 [amazon.com]). Lowest all-time price on the camel. Also the 750W version is also 34% off at $49.99 [newegg.com], $10 less than the lowest price on camel..

Best thing is there is no rebate!
  • 500w ATX gaming power supply
  • 80 plus Bronze certified, with 85% efficiency or higher and very stable voltage output
  • All cables are black and not ketchup and mustard colored
  • Silent and durable 120mm fan
  • Full protection including OVP/UVP/OPP/SCP/OCP/OTP

500 watts is probably no good for most video cards

Sure, if you need, the 750W is $49.99 [newegg.com] which is a pretty good price. It's $10 less than the lowest price on the camel.

I have this PSU. I use a OC 1426MHZ RX 580 (stock clocks rated at 185W TDP), Ryzen 3600(usually undervolted a bit), Sn750 Black NVMe, 1 2.5" SSD, 1 2.5 HDD, 1 external 3.5" HDD, USB 3.0 Wifi Adapter, and KB/M. On an ASUS TUF B550m Plus. And I have no run into any power related crashes AFAIK.
or R
So you'd probably be fine if you are anything similar to my power draw, but if you're getting a beefy GPU like RTX 2080 or RTX 3000+ or RX 6000 series, and Ryzen 2/3/5900X, I'd at least get a 750W.

These are highly rated because they offer free mouse pads for giving good ratings. YMMV

I did not get a mouse pad with mine, wtf.Mad

However, they did have an error with shipping that I felt might have delayed my build, so I contacted support and they promptly apologized and refunded me, allowing me to keep the PSU(when it arrives) and rate their product, but did not insist that I give it a 5 star rating, I said I would rate it as I would if it wasn't "free" and they thanked me.

Damn I hate companies that do that. Too late, I ordered one of the 500W ones, will see how it goes.

It is not DC-DC. You should buy a better psu. There are many good non dc-dc psu on the market. ANTEC uses high quality Japanese capacitor in their psu.
These psu may use cheap, liquid, and Chinese cap.
