CORSAIR CMPSU-520HX PSU

[Dunkel]

I understand that this is a great power supply but I don't want to spend that much. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139001

I am RMAing an Antec earthwatts 500 because of a faint buzz from the unit (very annoying). I think I'll just sell the new one on ebay when it gets here.

So if someone can suggest something with modular cabling, let me know. $80 would be nice.

Thanks in advance.

This Tier-T PSU is $75 after $10 MIR: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817812002

I've used two of them. They are quiet and stable. One downside is that although each +12V rail is rated for 20A, combined they're only good for 28A, which seems a bit low.
Also, each cable for SATA drives has 4 connectors on it. If you only have one or two such drives in your system, you'll still have extra cable hanging off them.
The next modular PSU I buy will probably be a Corsair, but this was/is not a bad PSU. Check around though, sometimes other places have better prices on PSUs than Newegg.

620HX is what I've got in my rig and it has been great to me. All cables were long enough to manage and I can't even hear the thing. I can only imagine the 520HX being just as good if you dont need the extra 100W.

Shop around some. The HX-520 is available in your general price range if you catch a good deal or rebate deal.

You can also go for the corsair VX series instead of the more expensive HX.
