This: http://www.scan.co.uk/products/700w-storm-lpk19-35-120mm-silent-fan-20plus4pin-m-b-4-pin-plus12v-psu-atx-22

Is it good? Is it a reliable brand?

Will it be enough for my system, if I get a GTX 460 1GB?

Whats a modular power supply?

Also, can you put 2 different graphics cards together, i.e my current and a GTX 460 1GB?

I normally play at 1360 x 768 on my monitor, but I might sometimes connect to my TV and want to play in 1080p resolution. Is the GTX 460 sufficient, and how long will I be able to play on high (not maxed) settings if I connect to the TV? How long will it last on my monitor resolution at high (not maxed) settings?

Thanks.

This is what a modular PSU is. 700w should be fine, though I haven't heard of the brand before. And I don't think you could do that with a 9500GT and a 460, but I'm not sure.

So should I get a modular one? From the paragraph, it seems better. I don't know.

It would be a good idea. My PSU is a good few years old, and it's a pain having to push the unused cables into free space.

OK. Can you answer any of the other questions? Thanks again.

Stay away. A 700W Psu without an 80+ certification and only 2 12Vlines with a total 39Amps Stay away. Better get a 450-500W psu from a trusted brand like Corsair, OCZ, Pc power and cooling, Thermaltake, Antec

I agree. That is a cheap piece of rubbish. I'd go for an Antec TP-750 or Corsair HX-750 or Enermax Modu87+ 800w.
