I plan on purchasing a new PSU and maybe another graphics card when I get my tax return. However, I don't know which one would be better for me. I am leaning towards the CM Silent Pro Gold 1000W, however I saw a review at jonnyguru.com and he ruled out that the CM psus tend to have a "ripple" in the unit. He said otherwise it was a solid PSU, plus it's gold certified and 1000W. BUT, on the other hand, I've heard that Corsair PSUs are VERY reliable and solid and provide EXCELLENT power supply efficiency despite having no GOLD rating.

I am on the fence and need some of you folks to help me out. Thanks.

No problem. I splurged and decided to go for the Corsair Professional Series Gold AX850 instead of the HX. Having 90% efficiency on full load is definitely a power supply worth buying. :)  Also, it makes the cable management much more neat. I ordered from Directcanada.com on Friday, and apparently they are supposed to have the item here by Wednesday! Amazingly fast!!
