About first Link: Its from an unknown brand, but that doesnt matter if it uses quality components and has enough warranty (it has only 1 year). But it seems it doesnt have quality components either as it says only 70% efficiency. It doesnt matter if it can output 50A on 12v rail if it has lots of ripples and noise. And there is no proof if it can actually deliver 50A on 12v, leave ripple and noise. And even with some branded PSU, the protection system isnt guarenteed to work (like Cm Ep series). This one has no guarentee those protection system really does exist, and only way to find out is open it up and check for the OVP, OCP... circuits. And it doesnt seem to have Active Power factor Correction as well. So its a big no no even at that price.

Second Link: No way a normal sized ATX compliant PSu can have a 200mm fan. The max that one can handle for ATX standard size housing is 140~145mm. So its a big lie on the product name/specification itself. Secondly they dont even specify the number of molex, sata and other power connectors or certifications or efficiency or anything. Only big thing it says is it has 200mm fan which can never happen. Also seriously what did they think before writing "plug and play".

Go for FSP Saga II 350 for 1.6k. Its 80+ efficient, uses quality components and has many protection feature that actually works and Active PFC. And seriously a 350W PSu can run most rigs provided you dont have a hefty GPU or more than 2~3 HDDS and CPU powerful than an PII X4/Core i5 and won't overclock to high levels. Also FSP Saga II 400W @ 2.1k is also a great for value conscious buyers > FSP Saga II 400W Power Supply | eBay

or

CORSAIR Builder Series
 
Thanks for a detailed answer . I currently have a HD4670 GPU . Used it with a regular 450w PSU and the Motherboard is gone so searching for a cheap PSU. I guess 2k is the base line for quality PSU.
 
Go for FSP Saga II 400 eyes closed. I recommended Saga II 350 for a friend of here with 5670 and E5400 proccy, and is doing great for past 1yr+. Ive checked the voltage reading is is perfectly fine. It will save power too. On avg is 10~12% more efficient than those local ones and on an average 300W load, it will save around 30w+ and it will be a huge amount on ling run + longevity for you PC components.
