Hi all,

I have a build that's about 2 years old and I'm now going onto my 4th PSU. I replaced the stock one of my kit with an XFX and have had to RMA two of them only to have another fail 18 months later. I am looking to purchase a quality PSU that will be more than I need so that I can upgrade other parts in the future. My main concerns are quality and it working with my GPU which is an OC EVGA geforce gtx660. I'm mainly looking at Corsair or Seasonic and looking to spend 100-160 USD. I'm open to other brands, I started with those two because I trust them. These are a few I was looking at, but I'm hoping for advice/suggestions on compatibility with my GPU and what to get. http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Submit=ENE&N=100007657%2050001697%2050001459%20600479295%20600479296%20600479297%20600037998%20600112163&IsNodeId=1&name=Corsair

This has been a very frustrating piece of hardware for me so I'd really appreciate some insight. Thanks for your time and help

In a way, I wish that were the case Rolli. Thought it was a hard drive issue to begin with. Wiped it, didn't fix it. Swapped in a new hard drive and still no luck. Tried new memory sticks, didn't work. Swapped out the GPU, no luck. Borrowed a PSU from a friend and everything runs great again. I know XFX is supposed to be pretty decent and maybe I'm just that unlucky but no way I buy from them again. Blackbird has helped me before so I'm inclined to trust him again.
