if your PSU blows out due to overload, will it ruin your other components? i'm going to buy a 1000w PSU today because my 500w PSU was stressed from overclocking my i5-3570k and r7770s in crossfire (cocky i know). i'm just wondering if i'll have any component problems after i get the new PSU. .

The poorer the quality of the power supply the more likely it is to damage other components when it fails. Here's a decent guide on whats good and what should be avoided.

Corsair, XFX, Antec, Seasonic, Rosewill are such brands.
A shady 1000w PSU can fail if it's internals aren't quality.
Agreed but you still have to be careful with Rosewill while they have some good ones they have a couple bad ones aswell. I would rank them close to Coolermaster on that front.

I always put them in the end of my lists for reliable PSU manufacturers
The rest of them are pretty equal, so they get a random order depending on which one comes up in my mind first
Personally, I always go with Seasonic, or Corsair when I'm on a more limited budget.
Seasonic, XFX, and Corsair are about all i will buy.

All XFX PSUs, and many Corsair AX series PSUs are manufactured by Seasonic

Coolmax power supplies are absolute crap they are a tier 5 unit and should be avoided at all costs. Look at the eggxpert link in my first post and stay away from anything in tier 4 and especially tier 5.

what about this one? i have a z77 extreme4, an i5-3570k (4300 MHz), 8GB DDR3 RAM, 1TB 7200 RPM and two r7770s. do you think 750w will be enough? http://www.microcenter.com/product/406089/CX_Series_CX7...

Cheap improperly designed power supplies will damage attached components when they die.
For a system using two Radeon HD 7770 graphics cards in 2-way CrossFireX mode AMD specifies a minimum of a 600 Watt or greater system power supply. The power supply should also have a maximum combined +12 Volt continuous current rating of 30 Amps or greater and have at least two 6-pin PCI Express supplementary power connectors.
You underpowered your system configuration with that 500 Watt PSU so of course it died of over stress.
Get a reputable name brand 650 Watt PSU with 53 Amps or more capacity on its combined +12V rails. At least it will safely handle your overclocking.

this one isn't necessarily 650w, but it's a reputable name brand. i checked the specs, and it says "+12@62A." i'm guessing that's over 53 amps. here's the link: http://www.microcenter.com/product/406089/CX_Series_CX7...

Yes the Antec High Current Gamer 620W is a good PSU. It's based on Seasonic's M12II Bronze 620W platform. Its 48 Amp +12V continuous current rating should also be fine for your system configuration.

The TX uses higher quality components and as such has a 5yr warranty vs the cx's 3yr. That said either one will work for your rig. If you are set on a 750w unit they do have the TX750 for $115 ($105 after rebate), but its not modular.

This PSU is equally good, for cheaper and free shipping.

This one is also good. It is based on a detuned (i.e. reduced by 20 Watts) version of the Seasonic's M12II Bronze 620W platform. It also has a 5 Year warranty.
