First Looks
The most notable difference between the NZXT PP800 and most of the power units which I’ve reviewed in the past few months is the presence of an 80 mm intake fan on the front of the unit. While NZXT claims that these fans together are quite quiet, an additional, uncontrollable fan is sure to generate some potentially unwanted noise.
Physically, though, the PP800 is quite sound. It’s black, and the outward-facing side bears the power outputs mentioned in the Features and Specifications section of the review. The rear of the unit is honeycombed for airflow and protection. A rocker switch can disconnect power entirely.
The bottom of the unit has a 120 mm intake fan which is circularly grilled.
The cables are sheathed for better airflow and cable management. The PP800 has one 20+4-pin motherboard connector, one 8-pin CPU connector, eight 4-pin device connectors, six SATA connectors, four PCI-Express connectors (two 6-pin and two 6+2-pin), and a floppy connector. The cables are not modular.

I'd go with a psu that has 80 plus. It does take higher quality parts to achieve 80 plus, and you know that it's going to be quite efficient.

Not sure if I would trust this to power my PC.

80 PLUS is just an efficiently rating.
+1 this is a mediocre PSU and I would never use one.
i know that. It takes quality parts, including capictors to achieve higher efficiency
true, nzxt isn't really well known to make good psu
There alright but the basic user.
How its built has some influence as well I believe.
Oh, i've never heard of that.
basic user should stick with a generic, much cheaper and gets the job done, plus they won't be able to really distinguish
