Need help picking out a psu

What good but not to expensive 750w power supply units are out there. It would make things much easier for me is if you found a good psu that was available at mwave and if you can try not to use newegg as there delivery prices are to expensive for me to consider using it.

Corsair has a few good ones in there CX Series. I use them. They aren't premium and wont last forever, but you can usually pick up a CX750M for around $30-$50

in Australian dollars around $140 for a psu

The CX series are not good. They got demoted from tier 3 to tier 4 due to numerous failures sure to low quality components mainly the capxon secondary capacitors that are constantly failing. The EVGA B2 is a much better option and usually around the same price.

I have had mine for almost a year. It never evened showed signs of wear. I am not saying that High-end PSU aren't good, but mine works geat.

Cheaper than a CX and much better quality. Here's another in that price range thats good.

ModMonster :

Just because you have one that managed to make it a year so far doesn't make the series good. Its not just the fact that they use poor capacitors with a higher failure rate, but for the price there are usually higher quality options available.

I'd hardly say that $140 is way cheaper than $60

prices have risen since I last looked at the CXs

Bad advice recommending a low quality PSU.

ModMonster :

I was looking at new prices, and the CX750m is $139 new.

Getting a refurbished version of an already low quality unit is just a bad idea. The last 2 refurbished cx750ms(sent as replacements for a buddys failed one) I seen didnt last long, the first lasted 2 months the 2nd lasted 2 weeks.

Totally agreed here, as said above, the CX series is not the way to go.
You can choose from here a Tier 1/2/3 PSU : http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/forum/id-2547993/psu-tier-list.html

LOL. I didn't relize that. Still, they are cheaper. You can usually find some new ones that are a little over 2x cheaper than the ones you showed me. Letting you buy another one if it breaks.

Yea, i was going to use the EVGA 750W psu but it was not available on mwave thats why i asked if there were any good power supply units available at mwave. But out of all the answers i guess i will have to stick with the EVGA 750W and order it from another store.
Thanks for the help

While CXs are not known for damaging other parts when they fail it's not unheard of. Buying a psu you know has problems just because its cheap and you can just buy another if it fails is just a bad idea and bad advice.
