This power supply is relatively new and has a 80 plus gold rating, I bought it when i got two cards for crossfire and now, my fx-6350 is a bottleneck i want to upgrade to a 9590 or an 8370 and overclock it close to the 9590. in total it looks like my system would be drawing about 750w at full system load with fans etc included. is anyone experienced with this psu and know whether or not it will hold up? I think it's important to note i have a 5 year warranty on it so just in case if it does burn out i won't be screwed, i just don't want to plug it in and 1 week later have my psu on fire.

While that is a good quality PSU, you really don't want to run it at full load for extended periods of time, let alone exceed the rating.

What are your other components? Are you sure you'll be drawing 750W? Not even a 290X and 9590 should approach 750W unless you've hardcore OC'd the 290X.

it was originally a budget build then i burnt out the motherboard and i recently upgraded the graphics. started with 4gb of ram instead of 8 yeah i know if i was making it from scratch would have been very very different. was originally built on a 800 dollar budget with perepherals etc included. i would have gone with a different platform when i burnt out the mobo but at the time didnt have enough cash to change cpu and mobo. it's a great running build until anything cpu intensive comes into play </3 plus when i built it AMD was supposed to release more fx chips for this socket then canceled a few months after i built it
