brilliant because i was so close to buying a AMD setup with fx-9590 but with that i would have needed a 1000w no dought and it would have cost me £30 more than this intel setup

the fx 9590 is a waste of money and power consumption 220 watts really more watts more heat. the 4770k will do much better at lower power and heat.

It can, BUT the RM series from Corsair is considered a bit 'crappy' (bad capacitors). I'd look in to Seasonic, XFX or other Corsair units (not CX or RM)

theres nothing wrong with the rm series true they use secondary capacitors that are CapXxon (fair quality) and the rest are nippon chemi-con (High quality) the rm series are great units and will not fail on you.

AFAIK RM capacitors = CX capacitors

RM supplies are very poor.

The RM850 that the OP is talking about does not use CapXon secondary caps. It uses bottom rung LTEC caps.
