The CX series from Corsair isn't what I would recommend for a gaming machine. Their great for machines that aren't put through a lot of abuse, but they can't handle gaming, in my experience.

Many ppl on here keep buying the CX series for their builds, and then come back saying their PC keeps rebooting during gaming. I'd like to know how the CX series keeps getting so recommended out of all their unit's, being as their the weakest link in the Corsair product line.
