Check a Seasonic S12II 520W or the new Corsair CXM Series. They seem to be of decent quality at a good price unlike the CX Series.

0.09V horrible? Yeah...no. It's quite good. In fact better than Corsair RMXs series load regulation, according to Jonnyguru and Tomshardware. It isn't mythical, but certainly is good. Also, load regulation isn't the onky thing you should look at when judging its perform and/quality.

The Seasonic Eco is actually a pretty good unit, equivalent to the XFX TS, because well an XFX TS is a Seasonic Eco.
So it would work, you could do a lot worse.

"Issues". They aren't issues. 0.85% deviance on the 12v rail on the bitfenix whisper is very good. Sure, the RMx has better regulation on the minor rails however they aren't as important as the 12v rails. The overall performance of the bitfenix whisper is in fact better than the EVGA G2 and similar to the Corsair RMX. Not to mention the whisper is normally cheaper.

James Mason, your comment is misleading. The XFX TS series are made from a combination of platforms, including the Seasonic G, seasonic gb, Seasonic AT and the less common Seasonic ST which is only found in the 430w unit.
So in fact most XFX TS' are not Seasonic Ecos.
