I am thinking about the Cooler Master GX - 650W Power Supply with 80 PLUS Bronze Certification (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817171052). I was wondering if Cooler Master GX power supplies are any good?

Hi - nasty is right on - Here is a brief recap from johnnylucky.org from review by Hardocp:

GX-650 650 Failed efficiency rating. Failed load testing. Medicore voltage regulation. Poor DC output quality on 3.3V rails. Outdated design.

If you post your sys specs, budget, and location, we can assist you in finding a quality unit.
