So are non brand name PSUs a bad idea? Like this 600W one for instance.

I'm considering buying a graphics card that requires either 400W or 450W and would need a new power supply.

They seem like a good idea at the time. Then when you have to replace every component in your system as well as the power supply when it all goes up in smoke, they seem like less of a good idea. $20 PSUs can easily cause $500+ worth of damage.
