Order of priority

Needs to have a long life
PSU needs to be extremely efficient
Run cool big bottom fan
Affordable
Preferably 2 6+8 pins
Would be nice if its modular
Single rail

I always recommend an OCZ GameXstream PSU. Great quality Tier 1. I have personally owned a 600 watt and my current 850 and they are both running extremely solid. Never any issues. I highly recommend.

I'm not sure if this complies with your 4th requirement but it's an awesome PSU (you get what you pay for)

If you want modular get the Corsair. If you want rock freaking solid craziness get this: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16817703009 This thing powered three graphics cards for me on a very overclocked system with a bunch of other stuff and did not blink.

get the corsair 750w, the pc power and cooling is a bit more solid, but the corsair is plenty solid and cheaper.

Polarman · Jul 24, 2008, 08:58 PM

seems like your set on the Corsair power supply with all the reviews. I recommend it, high efficiency, large single rail, and no case of horrid ripple issues.

i gather that this and the corsair is the same thing.

im saving for a purchase next week.

Wile E · Jul 25, 2008, 03:41 AM

No, the Corsair is built by CWT (albiet to Corsair specs), the PCP&C is built by Seasonic. The PCP&C is a better unit, but the Corsair is almost as good, but at a lower price.
