Hello I am about to put together a computer for the first time and are currently ordering parts. However, after looking at reviews and comments on the corsair CX750m (though I have also been looking at the 650m) there seems to be some mixed opinions on the quality and reliability of the product. Some say they work perfectly fine while others claim that that they break easily, have problems working with ssd:s, cases where the psu have failed and fried the entire computer etc. Are these complaints valid and should I avoid this PSU? I have been looking at recommended alternatives, primarily the EVGA SuperNOVA GS 650W and EVGA SuperNOVA G2 750W. I am already above my budget and is it worth spending some extra cash one of the supernovas instead? The CX750m - 859 sek = 101,487 usd, the SuperNOVA G2 750W 1190 sek = 140,589 usd (The Supernovas are almost priced the same)

My Build on pcpartpicker (exluding case since I can't find it there) http://pcpartpicker.com/p/7VBcnQ Link to the case I have ordered http://www.prisjakt.nu/produkt.php?e=2985816

Links to all the induvidual parts:
Cooler - http://www.prisjakt.nu/produkt.php?e=516316
SSD - http://www.prisjakt.nu/produkt.php?e=2880218
GPU - http://www.prisjakt.nu/produkt.php?e=2809941
the upgrade kit I bought - http://www.webhallen.com/se-sv/datorkomponenter/208708-webhallen_upgrade_kit_i7&atcl=external:ref
Case - http://www.prisjakt.nu/produkt.php?e=2985816

Also do all the parts actually fit in the case? They should but since I can't check on pcpartpicker I'm not sure. I would also like to ask if the supernova PSU:s would actually fit inside the case were I to order one of them instead.

I appreciate any help I can get.

The quality and reliability of the EVGA G2 and GS series power supplies is top of the line. The Noctua NH-D14 Cooler is very large and won't fit the 100R case. The Asus GTX 970 is also large for the 100R case and will block drive bays. I suggest you change to the Corsair 300R or 450D case.

Thing is I already have the case in question due to a friends recomendation, but shouldn't the fan at least barely fit? The case says 140 mm and the fan size says 140 mm.

If I seem rude or obstinate I apologize, I just want to know if I'm missing something completely obvious here.
Case (WxHxD) 200 × 471 × 430 mm, Fan (WxHxD) 140 × 160 × 158 mm

No problem. Corsair lists max cpu cooler height as 150mm. The Noctua is 158mm. It would be very close and may touch the case window when closed. ref.-

The GTX 970 will also confict with drive bays due to length.

In other words I am going to have to send back the case and get a new one, good thing I haven't opened the packaging itself yet. Thanks for the advice.

I have the corsair cx750m and it has not died on me yet and it feels very solid and heavy to me. I also have the corsair 300r, it is a very solid case with lots of cooling options (I bought a value 4 pack of coolermaster 120mm fans for about $12). I would suggest looking at pcpartpicker.com for compatibility options. In my build, the corsair cx750m was compatible with the 300r.
