As you can see, I already have a Corsair CX750M. However I failed to do my research and found out that this PSU was poorly reviewed and struggles under any decent stress test. It is considered a "basic" PSU for "basic" builds and I plan on using my new rig for gaming and such so I'm worried this thing will go down on me and possible ruin my rig. So I'm thinking on buying a better PSU. Need something that would easily drive my rig above with lots of room to spare and can handle some stress decently. And hopefully easily under $150 USD ($100-@120 is ideal). I'm thinking of a reputable 750W PSU. Any recommendations is most appreciated! Thanks!
btw - I do have one old Antec True Power New TP-750 that is a few years old from my old rig. Should I just use that instead?
