although Corsair is certainly a reputable brand, that specific PSU is a entry-level model.

in the link above, you can see they recommend a PSU that has a minimum of 700w. if you choose to get the minimum (700w PSU), i'd recommend the unit be absolutely solid (80+ Gold Certified) and nothing of the basic models; better yet, whether you choose a 700w PSU or 800w PSU, you may want to stick with a high end PSU as it's the component powering every other component in your system.

i don't believe PSU's build up cooler master's reputation however, the unit is a rock and powers my own system. 2 other quality brands that pop up into mind are Seasonic and Rosewill. (i think Seasonic built the CM V700 that i posted above)
