I've got a GTX and a E6600 and was wondering what I should go for out of the Corsair 650W or the 620W? It looks like the 650w as a single 12V rail. Does the 620W has 2, is this true? What should I go for?
 
The HX 620w actually has one single rail as well, no internal limitations on the rails as far as has been ascertained so if you were to overload one nominal rail it wouldn't be an issue since it is essentially a powerful single rail. JonnyGuru gives more details in his review but he does confirm that he can't see how they would be split by the PSU.

Whats wrong with the cables?

The TX-650 is non modular, and classed as their mid range product, while the HX620 is modular and classed as their high end product. As owner of a HX620W, i am more than happy with it.

Whats wrong with Google, putting in the search Corsair HX620w cables, and hitting Images, you get thousands of pics, like on Page 4, first one top left. :p

Hello triggerthat, the Corsair HX 520W ATX2.2 Modular SLI Compliant PSU would be absolutely fine for your system. However, if I had to pick between either the Corsair HX 620W ATX2.2 Modular SLI Compliant PSU or the Corsair TX 650W ATX2.2 SLi Compliant PSU, I would personally choose the Corsair HX 620W unit. :)

Hello Cupra, sorry but what exactly is wrong with the cables that come with the Corsair power supplies? :)

Admittedly they are not the highest quality and they could be better. However, they do the job just fine. The primary purpose of a power supply is to provide adequate power to your system which the Corsair units do and very quietly at that too and not to make your system look pretty. Now, if there were a number of threads popping up saying that the cables of the Corsair units were breaking and not doing their job properly then you may have a case, this is not the case though. :)
