No.... The unit is not a true power unit, and the name is deceptively named to hide its real wattage. Very poor ripple and voltage regulation, and better units can be bought at the same price.
http://www.hardwaresecrets.com/article/Coo...-Review/1550/11

80+ Bronze/Silver/Gold denotes the efficiency of the power supply. 80+ Standard is the lowest rating for a 80+ unit, where 80+ Platinum is the highest rating for a 80+ certified unit. Note that 80 Plus certification do not dictate the power supply's quality.

725W is massively overkill for a single GPU build. PSUs like the Seasonic S12II 620W/M12II 520W would be a much better choice. tongue.gif The R9 270X is badly priced as well, since you can get a GTX760 at the same price, which is an even faster card to start with.

Have you bought your rig yet?If no,then add 30 ringgit more,get Gainward GTX760 Phantom 2GB GDDR5 RM849 (from Lingloong).For PSU,i'd recommend you Seasonic S12II 80+ Bronze 620W RM299 (from Viewnet).

IMO,R9 270X is overpriced.It cannot even beat the GTX760 that costs 30 ringgit more.Even with the Toxic version of R9 270X..the GTX760 still beats it.And GTX760 is one of the best mid-range GPUs IMO. brows.gif

I'd get the Gainward GTX760 Phantom for 30 ringgit more than the Sapphire R9 270X Toxic's price.. icon_idea.gif brows.gif

P.S.What is your budget for the whole rig? tongue.gif

To set records straight, I'm using Cooler Master Extreme 2 625 PSU and it can power my system with R9 290 in it tongue.gif

But it's not really a good PSU hahhah, like others said get better PSU. I got mine because no choice when I pick parts for whole PC to assemble at shop (the shop carries high end seasonic but too expensive for me...)
