I have used OCZ power supplies and they seem to work for me, I'm currently using the OCZ Mod-stream 600w. But I also have used Corsair and I love their quality and OCZ's quality. The only problem is they are kind of expensive but definitely worth the extra money.

50 bucks after rebate.

Ok I think I'll get http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=4236686&CatId=1078
Its good amps, good quality, single rail. Someone on the steam forum is like "if you buy this and your gfx card goes to max load it will only leave 70w for everything else. is he for real or what?
Extreme psu calc says I'd only need 368w tota for everything. I even added a sound blaster with front bay just incase I decided to buy one. Does anyone think I should get 450w or will this work?

I trust OCZ but i don't trust their rebates : )
to really get them to send you a rebate you have to bitch at them.
I called in why my rebate never came and they said it was sent to my address but they sent it missing one number. OCZ rebates are skeptical

| Well I'm going with the ocz. I don't think I am going to overload the rails. I don't think I have enough hardware for that. After the gfx card I got nothing else really. The cpu and gfx card shouldn't hurt it, even at max load.

I'd go with the Corsair one (mainly so I can sell mine to you instead of it just collecting dust in my room).
Perhaps we can work out some kind of deal, $35, just for you.
It's working perfectly fine, it's just that my 4870 has two PCI-E connector slots, and the 400W only comes with one, but your 4850 only requires one anyway so it's perfect for you.

I mean you'd be saving $20, but if you wanna go with the OCZ one which is much more than you'll need, go ahead.

And if it broke I'd have no warrenty what so ever. This comes with atleast 36 months limited, and I can add something for like 10 bucks.

Oh it won't break. Definitely not as this thing has only run for about four, five hours.

I remember my friend bough a Seasonic 850 Sliver once because is only ~$70 USD which is the same price as the Corsair 520HX
not to mention is the same shit
Yet, he only runs a fricking X4 955 and 4890
