Hi there, I am building a new system but stuck on the PSU. Below is my build.

Krypton Z68 600i Intel Core i5 2500K 3.30GHz @ 4.60GHz Overclocked Bundle
Asus P8Z68-V PRO Intel Z68 (Socket 1155) DDR3 Motherboard
Kingston HyperX Genesis Grey 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3 PC3-12800C9 1600MHz Dual Channel Kit (KHX1600C9D3X2K2/8GX)
Asus ATI Radeon HD 6950 DirectCU II 2048MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card
Cooler Master HAF X Gaming Tower Case - Black (RC-942)
Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium SP1 64-Bit - OEM (GFC-02050)
OCZ ZS Series 750W '80 Plus Bronze' Power Supply
Seagate Barracuda Green 2TB SATA 6Gb/s Hard Drive - OEM (ST2000DL003)
OcUK 22x DVD±RW SATA ReWriter (Black) - OEM

Total - £1038.82 (shipping)

My dilemma is that I can get the "OCZ ZS Series 750W '80 Plus Bronze' Power Supply" for £75

or

"Corsair Enthusiast Series TX 750W V2 High Performance" for £87.98

I am willing to part with and extra £10 or so as I have already overstepped my £1000 margin if the PSU is right.

Now the OSZ 750W comes with free MW3 when it comes out as I was thinking about buying it. This will save me £50 compared to the Corsaire.

My question is the OSZ a reliable PSU for the system I am building? as I usually buy huge branded PSU. I don't wan't to buy decent components then skrimp on the PSU to where it will effect my system.

Thanks for your help!

The Antec is certainly the better quality PSU. so if thats your main aim? then get that.

If you are looking for a good PSU at a good price? then the OCZ is good, it also comes with a free game - http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=BU-057-OP&groupid=701&catid=123&subcat=1098

Its a shame you can't add £15 towards the gfx card and get msi 6950. Its meant to be a beast. So much so Im getting one tonight
