Is this : http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=CA-014-TG&groupid=701&catid=123&subcat=393 better than my Corsiar HX 520watt ?

In what regard? It isn't modular but it should be more powerful, unless you have a pressing reason to change I'd just stick with the Corsair since it is an excellent PSU.

Just had to rma a Tagan and they are being v. silly, they made me pay for return shipping (£14). Other manufacters have bent over backwards to supply good service so I havent been impressed.

It only cost me £7 to send via RoyalMail. The turn around times are fast though, took less than a week for me to get a new PSU. I originally bought the PSU 2nd hand, so it must have been dodgy when it was sold to me. The one I have now though is running fine. Highly recommended.

Well it wouldnt cost me anything to change psu's and i was just wundering if it is worth swapping them.

I have got the hx520 corsair and I think it is excellent, I haven't had much experience with the tagan ones though but 700w seems a little excessive, but then again if it is free then take it, although personally i'd probably ebay the tagan one and keep the hx520 in my own system.
