Pros: At 650W, this PSU should have no problem powering a fairly loaded quad core system. Extremely quiet operation, highly efficient as an 80 PLUS certified PSU, plenty of power connectors for SATA and MOLEX. This PSU also has the 8-pin 12V EATX for motherboards and CPUs that make use of this type of power connector (recommended for Intel Quad core CPUs). The Antec EA650 is a great buy - costs half of what most other well-known SLI certified, crossfire ready PSU's sell for online.
Cons: None at all.
Overall Review: 650W is plenty of power, don't get conned by 14 yr olds on the various online forums out there who insist on 800W+ power supplies.
