Yes, because PSU's that cost £15 don't blow up and fuck the rest of your hardware up.

Your the dumb one. had a crappy £20 PSU explode on my comp once and it also fucked my GPU and Mobo up. been getting good brand ones since, because loosing a £700 system is worst than losing a £60 PSU.

"Been getting good brand ones since"
