Cheers, would a corsair 750w be a sensible choice to consider aswell?

Had bad experiences with corsair though, had a hx620 that went bang after 11 months.

Reading around corsair seem to have good reviews and are recommended throughout along with Power and Cooling. I guess the decision will have to come down to budget or I'm sure others will chip in with some recommendations.

I think you were unlucky last time..
Generally, if you go with any of the Seasonic, Corsair or OCZ, you can't go wrong.
They are all speciallist when it comes down to PSU.

Cheers

Yeh ive had lots of OCZ's before and they aint let me down, think im gonna go with the corsair.

I just RMA'd one of these, maybe just unlucky. From what I saw of it, it's not entirely modular - there was still a cable or so that I didn't need that had to be buried somewhere.

Edit: mpodular? modular!

+1 for HX750 & 850 - amazing solid piece of hardware - and great ribbon modular cables.
