Strengths:
I've been running this power supply for 4 years in a Ryzen 5 build with an 8gb R9 390. A very power-hungry graphics card. 6x 120 mm fans as well, this power supply is still going strong and has been flawless. Don't believe the hype of overpowering your system, it's all marketing bull... Just get what you need, spend the rest on ram or your processor. The biggest killer of power supplies is not cleaning them. I do mine annually, I have never had a power supply die in 30 years.
Weaknesses:
To be honest, I never found any weaknesses. The cables are definitely long enough, thick enough and of quality. I mean I wouldn't use it on a threadripper workstation. But definitely adequate for any high-end gaming PC. Like I said, don't believe these internet smart people that think they know. A small amount of electrical knowledge will go a long way. Just do a little research from a relevant source.
Additional Comments:
For how cheap this is and it's recommended rating. Why would you buy anything else? EVGA make really good products. But hey if it makes you feel better, it's your money!
