Just as the title says.
If so, is the Cougar CMX850 850w any good?

Thanks, what would you say the Silverstone Strider Plus 750W is in tier?

The CMX Series isn't even on Newegg's list. It's not even in the same league as the S700, SX700 and GX700.

The CMX Series is already in its third revision so there must be some problem with them that they are trying to fix.

So what does that mean as far as reliability? Would I be better off buying the Cougar PSU or Silverstone?

@ANPeck - if those are your only choices get the Strider.

Based upon electrical output quality the SilverStone Stider Plus ST75F-P is much better than the Cougar CMX 750.

The power connector distribution on the +12V rails of the Cougar CMX 750 are not optimal.

Okay, thanks, my choices were mainly based on what was available on pccasegear.com in Australia, $150au or less, being at least 750w, was trying for Silver certification, but can settle for less and it being a reliable brand. What PSU's would you recommend that would be within those ranges?
Thanks
