Even if it fails who can say the £60 quid model wouldn't have as well
Talk about moving away from my question.

You will also note a value PSU will only come with a 12 months warranty whereas most Performance PSU's come with between 2 to 5 years. IN the long run, a conformance PSU is the way to go whether it's for the warranty or that you can put your mind at ease that it's not guna fry and take everything else with it.
