Antec is hit or miss. Some of their supplies are good, some are junk. I don't know about that specific model. But it's safest to assume that all power supplies that come with cases are junk. Yes, even Antec. You don't want to spend hundreds on new hardware just to discover that (ooops) you guessed wrong on the power supply. It's just not worth the risk. -Dave
