Worth it. but there wasn't any screws in the box i got.
If there were screws supplied, it would have been an easy 5-star rating without a second thought.Things to consider:1) Fixed cables, meaning, not modular at all. That's not a problem for me.2) It has 3 SATA power connectors (Optical drive, SSD, HDD for example) No room to add more. Also not a problem for me.3) NO SCREWS! Now while this wasn't a problem for me as i had plenty of spare screws, it might be a problem for you if this is your first time building a PC and/or if your PSU is supposed to be fitted at the top of your case for example. Even if your PSU is fitted to the bottom of your case, you'd still need to be careful so as to not push the PSU.I understand that screws are not listed in the store description as part of the box contents, but still, there should ALWAYS be screws.So a word of warning, either order some screws when you order this, or call whichever company is selling this PSU on Amazon and ask them about providing the correct screws. This is the only reason why i dropped 1 star off the rating.How can we fit the part, if there is no screws supplied to fit it?!In regards to the ability of this PSU to power and regulate the system components (along with any connections made via USB) it would be an easy 5-stars as i mentioned above.This Seasonic Eco 430W PSU is powering:- Motherboard: ASRock FM2a88m Extreme4+- APU: A10-7850K (CPU stock 3.7Ghz-4Ghz with turbo core enabled) (iGPU is BIOS overclocked to run upto 960Mhz)- RAM: 8gb Kingston Hyper-X Beast 2400Mhz (running at 2395.2Mhz)- SSD: 120gb Kingston Hyper-X 3k- HDD: 1tb Seagate 7200rpm- DVD/RW: Samsung 24x (Then switched over to power a multi-card reader on the case when done installing any disc based stuff i need)- Case Lights for the Packard Bell iPower X3 case (Yes i know it's an oldie, but i think it's a goldie! Just look on Google Images for it and you decide)While playing some AAA quality games (thus pushing the CPU/iGPU power draw up) this PSU has also been providing power to a Logitech G27, Wired Xbox 360 controller, Belkin 4 port USB hub, laser printer/scanner, external 1tb hdd hub, and those things are left connected all the time. I have also charged my phone everyday off the PC with all the other stuff plugged in.

Great value, good quality PSU
I wanted a decent quality PSU for under £50 for my gaming PC. I thought I'd be lucky to find one that cheap. Then I checked out how much power my PC actually uses, and using a calculator website it came up with just 270 W. With a recommended PSU wattage of 319 W!So with that, it was a no brainer to go for this one, as it has more than enough power and it's a seasonic for under £50.This is being used with a GTX 960, i5 4460 and 16GB RAM.If there was one gripe, is that there is only 1 line of 3 SATA power connectors, which although this was just right for me, it means you're restricted to the lengths the connectors are apart. Because of this I required a SATA power extension, which is very cheap on ebay, but a bit of a nuisance.
