The Aurora RAIDMAX RX-580 is a good 580W PSU. I used the PSU in extensive testing of various computer components. One concern with modern PSUs is the ability to provide enough solid power for two video cards at the same time in a system. I mounted two CD-ROM drives, 2 7800GTs in SLI mode, a FX-60 CPU, 2GB of memory and a SLI motherboard and ran the system for 3 days. Stability was excellent.
If you are looking for a quality Power Supply for a reasonable price, the RAIDMAX Aurora RX-580 is a good fit for almost everyone. The negatives of this PSU include the inclusion of only one SATA power connector and the inclusion of only one VGA power connector for those wanting an SLI system. Otherwise this PSU is a good fit for anyone looking for a power supply today.
