The 450W BitFenix Formula Gold PSU exudes quality. It combines good performance and high efficiency with a fair price tag. It's only a bummer that the BF450G sacrifices modular cabling to keep costs down.

BitFenix's Formula Gold 450W is notably more expensive than competing PSUs like Corsair's CX450 and EVGA's 450 BT. But it's also more efficient and much quieter. If your needs are covered by 450W of output and you don't have a problem with fixed cables, then the BF450G is worth considering for your mainstream PC.
