There is a solid unit that will run it with plenty of head room. |

Because the Xclio unit uses solid internals and has a good reputation. Its also built by a reputable company and has much more wattage/amperage than your current psu even though they are rated for 500 w each. The Xclio is far superior to the Hercules unit. |

The one thing to not skimp on is the PSU. Why? Because if it's a quality unit it cleans the power to the system, is stable and doesn't under or overvolt, and doesn't cause other components to break. A cheap PSU will break components easier and take a thousand dollars when it does break.

You get what you paid for... and you don't want a Free power supply!
Quality, stability, and reliability come with a price. |
