Mushkin 580W PSU

[chris312]

I'm rebuilding my computer on a pretty tight budget. For now I will have an e2160 and an ATI 3650 until I have enough money to upgrade to a 9800GTX/GT and a q9450 later. I don't really plan on going SLI but having it as a possibility if I end up with the GT would be nice. (Going with a DS3L so it's not in my immediate plans, obviously)

Looking around on Newegg I found this:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817812004&Tpk=mushkin%2b550250
It boasts 20 amps on FOUR 12V rails and is modular, for only $100. Is this too good to be true? For $20 more I could get the PC P&C 610W but if I can save the twenty bucks, I'd like to. Another option is the $105 OCZ GameXStream 600W.

But I mostly want to know about the Mushkin, because $100 seems like an amazing deal for modular + all that amperage.

I read a review of it somewhere, don't remember which site it was though. I think it's a good unit. Here's a Corsair HX620 for $4 more;

the HX620 for 4 more is certainly a 150% better choice. Corsair is known for highest quality PSUs. 620watt (peaks at 650+ i believe) modular and ultra quiet. I wouldnt pass that.

Thanks for the recommendation. Somebody even got it to run SLI 8800GTX's, so it should be enough for me, lol.
