I read a review on a psu saying you can fry your system if you aren't careful buts its easy to avoid, how do you avoid it? Is this a threat? Or did this guy not know what he was saying?

Like corsair? Are they a good psu brand?
 
^That's about right. Logisys, Apevia, Raidmax, Sunbeam, Diablotek, older Huntkey (the new 80+ ones are decent), and of course anything generic, are all potential killers.
Corsair has all the necessary protection circuits not to kill your parts, although the "CX" and "GS" lines are made with some inferior Samxon capacitors that don't like heat and may not hold up over time.
Seasonic does not know how to make a bad PSU. Their own, XFX, some Antec, some PC Power & Cooling, and anything else they make will be safe. Flextronic (really high-end Corsair) is solid, as is Delta (many Antec). New Superflower units (Rosewill Capstone, NEW Kingwin) are also top quality.

Would you mind posting a link to a good one on newegg, one that is really safe, I need probably about 600 watts.
