latley me and some others are not recommending the cx series of corsairs. its a bargain brand of corsair where they outsourced their capacitor maker to a cheap chinese company. fine for a old athlon and a 5450/610 gpu but not for i5 builds and 78xx gpu's. seasonic and xfx have some great sales on now.

My recommend list are antec, Be Quiet!, corsair, fsp, nzxt, seasonic, silverstone, and xfx. xfx are seasonic power supplies, Corsair psu other than cx and ax i are seasonic, nzxt are seasonic and fsp psu, evga uses fsp, silverstone make their own which are good, Antec's higher end stuff is good, Be Quiet dark power pro 10's are the best power supplies on the market(very pricey). Seasonic or Fsp are very good power supply makers and they are commonly used by psu re-branders.

So is HighPower any good? I have seen people recommending OCZ but I have yet add it to my short list of recommended PSU. Antec, Corsair, PC Power and Cooling, Seasonic, XFX.

OCZ bought up PC Power & Cooling back in 2007 but kept it as a separate company to take advantage of the reputation that PC Power & Cooling had built.

The PC Power & Cooling Silencer MK II Series models are all made by High Power (Sirtec).

High Power (Sirtec) is nowhere near the quality reputation level that Seasonic has though.

Unless this has changed, Sirtec only makes the Silencer MK II series. Seasonic and Superflower make most of PCPC PSU's. http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/power-supply-oem-manufacturer,2913-8.html
