Corsair CX is not a good PSU model. The CX uses cheap chinese capacitors on the secondary systems and tend to fail early or soon after warranty expires. There are better PSUs for the same price.

List of some good PSUs:
- Any XFX PSU
- Any Seasonic
- be quiet!
- Rosewill Capstone
- Antec Earthwatts
- All Corsair PSUs EXCEPT CX and VS
- EVGA
