I've read the PSU 101 and I have looked at the recommend PSU for US. I think the best PSU for my new system is the Corsair CMPSU 620W http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16817139002

It has 620W and puts out a total 50A on the +12V which should easily handle my system and leave room for upgrade. Plus from the reviews from xbitlabs it says that it runs very reliable and is pretty quite also from newegg, of the 49 customer reviews they all give it 100%. Another bouns is the cheap price. Altogether I don't see why this PSU is not the perfect match for my new system.

So what do you guys think? Is there something better out there for me and have you guys heard or experienced anything bad about this PSU.

Thanks for the advice ahead of time.

I would go with one of these personally, they would both save you some money and work just great.

Antec 650W

OCZ 700W

But I think that corsair would work fine too

I perfer Enermax, but that Corsair psu is awesome, it'll easily power your system.

I know that I would only need about 34A on the +12v, but I figured that with this PSU it would give me room to upgrade in the future if I want. As to your reply Featherstone, I might look into that antec one, but when I read the review at xbitlabs for the OCZ one, they said that it was pretty noisy and that

Well, if you can choose between these two PSUs and other models described in this review, you should instead consider the products under the brands of Seasonic, Corsair or Zalman

I should have put the link to the corsair PSU from ZipZoomFly, because I forgot to mention that after rebate is only 123.90, so it's pretty cheap for that kind of quality.

The Tharmaltake 750w PSU is much better than the Corsair 620w and costs only 160$ at Newegg.

Can you give me a reason why the Tharmaltake is better besides the increase of toatl +12v Amps. Also i don't eactly want to spen more then $150 on a PSU, I'm willing to go as high as $160, but even that seems ridiculous to me.

Thermaltake and Corsair both make equality good PSU's.

The fact that for an extra 10$ u can get 10-15A more is enough reason to buy the Thermaltake.

The Thermaltake is NOT better than the Corsair. Don't listen to what he said.

The Corsair is a higher quality build of an S12 from Seasonic which is a tier 2 quality PSU. The Corsair will take anything you throw at it. 2x 8800GTX's, 2 hard drives, whatever...

The TT ToughPower is a good unit, but you don't NEED 750 watts over-head for even two 8800GTX's, and the Corsair is enough to handle two 8800GTX's anyway.

Trust me, the Corsair is a great unit, although you can get the Corsair HX620 at other places with rebates. www.buy.com (great seller, even has commercial advertisements) has the Corsair HX620 for $124.99 after $20 rebate with FREE shipping.
