I'm back and asking for opinions again! Yesterday I saw my psu kick the bucket. I am not quite sure what happened, I had a 'B grade' corsair 600w PSU which had been running fine for about 6 months now since i put the pc together. Yesterday i was gaming and then i hear a loud bang, i turn to my pc and through the window i see some lovely fireworks and another bang.
Absolutely tragic
The motherboard light would still switch on but the on/off button became purely decorative. I i replaced it with my other computers PSU and the system would boot and everything seemed fine (apart from the gpu which i removed because i thought it would be too power hungry for a 500watt unbranded PSU).
What do you think might have happened to my poor old PSU?
Well, since my Corsair power supply is Father Ted, i am trying to decide on a new one. My power munchers are:
MOBO: Crosshair V formula Z 990fx
CPU: Bulldozer fx8150 (24/7 clock the PSU broke on was 4.4ghz, though i have gotten it stable at 5ghz)
GPU: A single Liquid cooled PNY gtx580
I was thinking of this getting the OCZ 750W fatal1ty PSU. I have found it for £72, comes with a 5 year warranty and matches the colour of my lovely new decor of red and black.

Will the psu be good/reliable enough (i wont sli/xfire)?
Does anyone have any other PSU's they would like to suggest?
Thanks (sorry for the wall of text)
