Hi All: I sold some parts from my computer (see signature) I'm building a new rig & I'm downsizing of sorts. I use to play a lot of games, now I'm playing old games that I bought from GOG (Good Old Games) These are software titles that require almost no real graphics muscle. I decided to go with an AMD A10 7850K No need for a large video card anymore.

My specs:

AMD A10 7850K
16GB DDR3-2133 RAM
Samsung 512GB SS Drive
WD Black 1TB HD
Asus DVD Drive
4-120mm Case fans

I know this PUS will handle the load. My small local computer dealer has the older Antec Neo 520 on sale for $40.00 (non-modular) Seems like a decent PSU overall. Did a quick Google & found some decent reviews. Does anyone has some insight on the Antec Neo 520? Any insight would be appreciated.
 
Just doing some google searches pulls up several variants of that power supply but i didn't find a plain neo 520. is it semi modular like Antec Neo ECO 520C ? Or can you point to a review i missed? Either way so far it looks like a promising unit from the reviews i managed to find, assuming i was finding the correct unit:) Is it brand new or used? Used could still be ok, its just hard to know just how many hours are on it or how many hours its got left.

That almost sounds like exact model we used building my dads last pc, but that was possibly 6 years ago. If its not brand new we might be better off finding something new even if its a few bucks more. If its new, i personally think you be fine:)
