They're perfect for standard office computers and also great for home PCs used for everyday activities such as multimedia playback and light gaming. These power supplies are suitable for budget gaming setups as well with entry-level or mid-range graphics cards where power consumption is modest. They're also a good fit for small form factor systems where space and energy efficiency are priorities, providing enough power for compact builds without unnecessary overhead.
