Currently using modXstream 600w 80plus in my gaming pc with a 3570k OC to 4.2 and a XFX 7950. Should I stick with that or use a Corsair CX500w 80bronze?

Thank you for the reply! The reason I brought up the CX500 is price, which is currently $22 AR. I do not have to get a new psu immediately, but if the deal was outstanding and I could move my OCZ to the HTPC I'm building I'd do it.

Yeah the more I look at it the less I like it. I was considering getting the Antec 450w for $16 for my htpc I'm building, but I'd really like to upgrade the psu in my gaming pc. That XFX is great. I just don't have that kind of money to spend currently.

Thank you for the reply again. I OC'd the cpu for the first time today and just used the Asus auto tune tool. GPU is OC'd decently, but I have not messed with voltage nor do I plan to. It runs my games really great how it is.
