I'm not sure where your going with this. ANY corsair 750w psu will be adequate for his needs and they have not really had any quality control issues to...

How far you can go will depend in part on which PSU ....Corsair doesn't tell me anything as they make some great but they also make some crappy PSUs. The Corsair HX is the best to hit market from an OC'ers standpoint (except for the 1000 and 1050 watt units). They had very low ripple and better voltage regulation than the latter AX series ... which while they saved you a few cents if electricity each month, were bit weaker on ripple and voltage control. The TX V2 series is very good..... other v series and M suffix ones not so much.... the CX has had quality control issues.

The 3570k is a decent OC'er falling between HW and SB ... with a decent cooling solution, 4.5 or 4.6 should be doable easy enuff.....more if ya got lucky .
