Is this PSU good?

I am looking to buy a quality modular psu (up to £75.00 if possible) which will be used in HAF X case so it has to have long wires.

I am looking at this one at the moment:

XFX 650W XXX Edition Modular Power Supply

It will be used on a sandybridge setup (after B3 comes out) with one msi gtx 560 ti OC and in the future I might run 2 of those in SLI.

Made by Seasonic- same people who make Corsair and Antec PSUs, so yes, very good.

Yup, its a rebranded PCP&C (one of the most reputable PSU manufacturers out there). I've got one of the 850W models, and it is incredibly quiet (ie inaudiable over any of my other fans at minimum).

Agreed. That PSU is a worthy one.

worthy??? it's heavenly! buy buy buy!!!

Thanks for the replies, I will get it or the Antec TruePower New Modular 750W

Only thing I'm worried about with the Antec psu is that someone wrote in the reviews "8 pin power cable for cpu is not long enough" so I don't know if it would be fine on a MSI P67A-GD55 in HAF X case.

Should be, but if not you can always pick up an extension for pretty cheap!

Buy that PSU now , you won't regret it .

That looks like a great choice. I've been looking at the Antec Truepower New series 650W. Might change my mind and go with this plus its cheaper than the Antec.
