Don't be pressured into spending more money on a PSU by PSU snobs the CX600 is fine. I have a cooler master GX lite which according to these guys is total shit which will blow up if it powers anything more than a low-power CPU, I am running an FX-8350 @ 4.8GHZ and an over clocked R9 290 which the PSU has been powering for 2 years, before the R9 290 I had an overclocked 7950. I have never had any problems what so ever and my...

I have never had any problems what so ever and my set-up requires more power than yours.

@bluehowell : alright, i'll go with my gut and stick with this one..... one reason i don't wanna spend too much money on the build is that i build 3 desktop pc.... one is for me... the other one is for my cousin in africa... which he is in a place where its freakin far from civilization so once the psu break. it'll take a while before he could get ahold of a new one.... and the other one is for my bro who's about to go home from iran mission...... so yeah... this is all my money i've spent... but i don't mind since i'm happy giving them stuff that would definitely make them happy.... LOL!

PSU snobs for suggesting the guy uses a known quality PSU okay.

Let me clarify, there is nothing WRONG with the CX600.

HOWEVER if you were about to buy a new PSU it's adviseable to go for a similarly priced XFX unit simply due to the part quality.

You can also of course use sub par PSU's and they'll work fine but i'd feel bad if i advised someone to buy a part that i knew was not of the highest standard.
