Hello Guys!

Urgent help. (Read through it all)
I need a PSU replacement and I cant seem to be able to find a good PSU for 2 months and so far, I've only settled for these 2 due to reviews from close friends.

Now,
Centauro I've used until it blew up after 2 years for no apparent reason, No damage was done. Thankfully.
I know its a great quality PSU and lives through many difficulties, so theres no doubt in getting another one.

And last,
Corsair CX750 - I've known and noticed for the past few months that corsairs PSU's aren't the very best for entry-mid level Power Supplies.
Especially in the CX,CS and RM Series.
So I've heard good specifically about this CX750 so I think I might give it a chance.


Centauro is a strong PSU from experience.
But Corsairs previous experience hasn't been VERY pleasing for me.
All blew up or smoked for no reason.


Anyway,
Please choose one of these.
And give me your honest opinions.

I have till a week. No more I cant hold back from my PC! (2 months)

The best psus on that site are the Thermaltake DPS Gold 850w or the Corsair RM 850w. If you absolutely can't afford either of those, go with a different Corsair RM or the Cooler Master G.
I would not get a Corsair CX, Thermaltake Smart, or any Xigmatek.
