Hi everyone, I just need some advice on a buy

I am currently running a computer with 8800GT in SLI, quad Q6600, 8gb ram, 1 dvd player/burner... Nothing TOO fancy

Anyway, I currently own a RP-650-PCAR which fan died and brought the PSU down a notch. So, it can't perform anymore and when there is a load on the computer (let's say game with nice graphics) my computer gives me a nice BSOD.
All worked fine for the year before tho

So I'll switch the PSU, Now... I am hesitating between a bunch of stuff because I don't know that much about computer hardware and I am seeking advice.

Should I replace it with the same model?

If not, I was looking on TigerDirect and NCIX (yes Canada) and I found those that seemed to be adequate... any advice?

Or should I buy something totally different.

Thanks in advance

Corsair is highly recommended and looks to have a good price. It will suit your system well with power to spare.

I have that Corsair PSU running SLi 8800GT w E8400 and its rock solid. Considering the price difference, definately go with the Corsair.

Corsair has a reputation for high quality power supplies that are very reliable and stable. They consistently earn high marks in technical reviews and comparisons.
