How good are OCZ PSU's?

I have the OCZ M600 powering my system, went from a Corsair HX520 and this PSU is slightly quieter making it almost completely silent (I have a quiet PC so can hear PSUs) and idle/load sustained voltages are better too.

UD3P EP45 mobo
9x USB2 devices
GTX260 216 OC
Q9550 3.71ghz
8GB ddr2
Xonar STX
2x SATA hdd

I have no doubt about 5950 crossfire running on one even with room to spare.
 
I like OCZ PSUs - the GameXtreme ones I have are complete troopers - handle any load and stay cool and fairly quiet - the Z series, fatal1ty, etc. ones are all good too but my experience of the "stealth" xtreme ones is they are far from stealthy and actually quite noisey and after a year or so the power output degrades considerably. ModXtreme we might have been unlucky with - but both of the ones we had (bought at the same time from the same place) failed gracefully after 2 years within weeks of each other.
 
My first Corsair HX520 was the same, didn't stop me getting a replacement and enjoying 2+ years out of it though before selling it on.

Parts with moving parts will fail randomly all the time, just be lucky these branded psus don't take other parts with them :)
