Erm, I hope the first link was a joke. Seriously.

You've got high-end components, right?

So you need a clean, reliable power supply, right?

An eBuyer Value PSU, which is GREAT for your wallet, is perhaps NOT such a good idea for your HIGH END POWER DRAINING COMPONENTS :P

Or check any review of it. Compare the reviews.

The 650W PSU you're looking at is a value PSU, meaning it will support 650W peak power output, they're not designed to supply that power 24/7. They also don't provide steady voltages, meaning if there is a big voltage fluxuation, you're PC will become unstable. The Hiper PSU is much better build quality providing stable voltages and true 580W.
