good day tpu! I'm having a dilemma whether to buy a psu from fsp or ocz. For they are the psus available locally that comes with a cheap price. i'm looking for a 600w supply, so my choices are modxstream and stealthxstream or blue storm and everest 85 plus. So I hope many would give their insights about it. thanks!

Regardless of what the OP posted he has two options : Corsair or Seasonic.
On topic : go OCZ modxstream, modular + cheap = win.

Pretty much anything single gpu system the Blue Storm Pro 600W wouldn't have an issue with.

If the OCZ ModXstream is cheaper than the FSP, then take the OCZ. If it's the FSP that is cheaper, take the FSP. As said before, either one is good.
If it helps you with your choice: I have a 600w OCZ ModXstream Pro, and it is stable (tested with OCCT) with my Core2duo e8400, 4GB DDR2-1066 and Radeon HD4850.

I went with Corsair recently myself, 950W. Corsair has a good rep. Relevant because you don't want your PSU kamikazing your system should it implode.
