Is This A Good Psu?

Thanks for your input.

Can you explain the problem? I don't really understand.

Do you mean the fact that the 12v is split into 2x4pin plugs rather than a single 8pin plug?
Why should that matter?

Aren't there some motherboards that only take 4pin plugs, so this could be used for either?

TIA.

Every good quality modern PSU has single +12V rail because splitting lines virtually causes many problems. Like PSU power total output is good enough but single line gets too much load and then PSU just fails.

So about quality: 750W power supply under 30 pounds says quality is very poor. Then text says quad +12V lines and labes lays dual +12V lines.

Those two things are more than enough. Avoid that crap.
 
 
mediocre .... but are they good enough for a budget build?

The one you suggested doesn't seem to have any 4pin Molex connectors. I'd prefer one with both types. Any suggestions?

Note: I live in UK, not USA.

For gudget rig, good enough yes. Not bomb like one you first suggested.

That Seasonic has six 4-pin Molex connectors.
 
I don't recommended it as quad 12V rails are not good for heavy load. Go for a PSU with a solid single 12V rail only. I advice Corsair VS650 for you.
