While getting a cheap power supply may be important to ensuring you can keep costs of a system build down it is also important to remember that you still need a decent quality power supply: if it is stupidly cheap (<$20 or <£15) then chances are it is going to be nasty. That said this is the perfect scenario for something like XFX's PRO 450W <http://products.xfxforce.com/en-gb/Power_Supplies/Pro_Series_450W_PSU/P1-450S-X2B9>  Core Edition power supply which we are testing today. Being a “Core Edition†XFX power supply that means it is both non-modular and Bronze rated making it the lowest cost of all XFX's product stacks. Starting at just £35~ or $55 it certainly offers great value for money and a viable alternative to cheap unbranded power supplies that are likely to go kaput. Yet this power supply is still a fairly high quality Seasonic design and comes with an impressive 5 year warranty that you wouldn't expect to find at such a price point. So let's examine XFX's PRO 450W Core Edition power supply more closely in today's review.
