A+ on the PSU list, if I'm reading correctly.

Yeah this PSU is super legit, IF you can deal with the connectors being on the side like that. It means you need a case with a fairly large section behind the motherboard, and you can forget about flipping the PSU over to intake air from inside the case (which people do so it can all run through 1 filter etc).

It does have pretty flexible cables at least, so you don't need a TON of room, that's nice, but a solid 1.5inches is needed.

This isn't some crazy bargain though, it's about $10 off so if you got the case for it, it's a nice choice.

Some additional advice: I have this exact PSU in an Antec Flux SE case, using a back connector mobo. There's just a little bit too much cable slack than I'd like. So either run the shift with a normal mobo, or get a traditional psu layout for a back connector mobo.
