oh ok :/ i thought it may have been ok because of its single 80A 12v rail. because i was going to upgrade my system and use 2 gtx460's in sli or maybe even 2 gtx 470's
would the hx750 be ok with that and an i7 950 at 4GHz ?
btw ive got £110 max
£110

IMO its a peace of garbage just as the 900w form Coolermaster i had to RMA 3 of them,
well the third one i had to because the store said so
they seriously just blew up and the first one gave me a nice spark flyer and a bang through my arms which scared the crap out of me
I never will buy a coolermaster PSU again....
Antec1000w and a antec850w are doing their jobs perfectly fine !

so glad i joined here otherwise i could have had the same problem as you !
are there any other good 1000w or 80A plus single rail psu's out there for a good price other than corsair?
or is the corsair tx950w the best option for future upgrades and maybe tri sli or crossfirex x3

mate there is no point in you gettin a 1000w psu a lower wattage more suited to your set up will be more efficient
and dont go near tri sli/tri xfire they scale terrible and ull end up with worse performance in a lot of games

ok cool just done some research on that. had allot of configs on my head atm. may even save for longer for a 5970 on and 890fx board. then when all of the 6000 cards come out the 5970 will drop down then ill get another. would that be a wise choice?
Basically you get what you pay for, buy cheap crap and youll end up with cheap crap. PSU's can kill every component in your rig if they go wrong. So forget the HAF X as thats another POS and get a decent PSU instead

PH.2 955/965
Asus M4A89TD PRO-with the sli hack
2x msi cyclone 460s 768 versions
