My problem is the Extreme Gaming Series PSU... It is the cheapest PSU that is 1000Watts, I am getting that size because sooner than later I will want dual GTX 580's (I'm Greedy ) I have been trying to look up reviews of this PSU but have failed. The next closest PSU price is $50 dollars (USD) more and I feel that 1000W is plenty that and that I do not have to worry about the PSU being strained. Am I correct in this belief or should I fork over the extra $50?

I don't trust the cheapest solution when it comes to the PSU since a cheaply built PSU can potentially destroy all the components should it fail (rare, but it has happened).

What brand name the "Extreme Gaming Series" PSU from?

I prefer brands that I can trust. First and foremost, Seasonic PSUs. Seasonic also makes all PSUs for XFX and some PSUs for Antec, PC Power & Cooling, and Corsair.

In other words, fork over at least another $50 for a dependable PSU.
