is this ok...

current system


Gigabyte Z77X-UD3H Intel Z77 (Socket 1155) DDR3 Motherboard
i5 3570k [email protected]
Samsung Green (MV-3V4G3D/US) 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3 PC3-12800C11 1600MHz 30nm
Samsung SpinPoint F3 500GB SATA-II 16MB Cache X 3
Crucial RealSSD M4 256GB 2.5" SATA 6Gb/s Solid State Hard Drive
Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi XtremeGamer Fatal1ty Professional Series 7.1 SoundCard
 
Sli/xfire x2 ?
Then 850 should be more than enough.
But I would get AX series for gaming pc if you really want corsair.
Otherwise I would pick a different brand, not a big fan of corsair here :-)
 
Agree with above 850 watts is ideal. If you want a Corsair get either the AX760 or AX860, they are the only two left that are still made by Seasonsic, and as such are good quality.

Otherwise look at Antec, Seasonic or XFX :)

So long OCZ?

I think this has been on the cards for a while, and this quarter's financials seem to indicate a continuing downward trend...

Full story here.

It's a shame to lose any hardware vendor, but after doing a search through posts to see if this had already been posted I picked out a few disgruntled OCZ owners to say the least. Early failure SSDs, noisy power supplies, terrible customer support and RMA procedure being just some of the issues.

The early warning signs of a company in decline with product and support quality dropping through the floor, and now it seems people are voting with their feet too.

Reckon anyone will sail in to save the brand, or is this another consigned to the WEEE heap?
