Because it is one of the worst PSUs for high performance pcs on the market. That's why they are so cheap.

Get a 600W SeaSonic PSU, it will cost more but trust me don't cheap out on a PSU. What's better, a cheap psu that kills your entire PC, or spend a little more so that won't happen.

Corsair psus, like the cx series you linked, use cheap parts so they're not recommended for medium high end rigs, a xfx or seasonic psu is more reliable and will supply the full wattage

Yea the corsair CX series is no good, i regret getting mine (CX600) when it first came out... I've been having issues with it. Such as when i turn off the computer all the fans/leds stay on.. i have to switch the psu off each time i shut down...
