Get a coolermaster PSU... one with enough wattage for you, I quite like the CM brand when it comes to power supplies.

I have one, under 2 years old, it's like 11.3v on the 12v rail, the fangril has to be screwed in every 3-4 months, all in all, horrible power supply. Replacing it when I have the cash. Most likely with a Corsair HX 650 |

I previously had an antec neo (still got it just not used, at work on my desk)
2nd antec one i've had in 7 years, never had an issue with either of them
think i've currently got a corsair if I remember correctly
cheap PSU usually ends up causing lots of stability issues
In the end like all electronics they're probably made in the same factory and rebranded, then it's just a choice of modular or not and how many electricity's you want

Squid: From what I have heard of Corsair they make really, really high quality power supplies, thus why I was recommending them, at the very least I would recommend against getting an "Extreme Power", that's probably where my problem was, skimping out on the PSU because when I built my machine I didn't understand the advantages of a good one http://www.pccasegear.com/index.php?main_p...oducts_id=14533Thats the re-vamped model Mine has 3 SATA connectors, a 4 pin CPU 12v, something like 7 molex |

Fine, let me refine my sentence.
From my single experience, as well as the specs on the Coolermaster Extreme, it is horrible, spend a bit extra, get a decent power supply

I've always wanted a Corsair PSU... they do look nice. I guess only reaosn I went with CM is because it was a bit cheaper.

I bought an Antec Earthwatts 750W for $135, it's the quietest PSU i've ever owned.
I installed a Corsair HX-750 for a mate, the modular cables that come with it look dodgy and feel a bit flimsy. But that's just my opinion.

This is particularly funny given that multiple brands share different circuit boards, meaning that not only do not all Coolermaster PSUs have that problem, but not all other brands don't. DOUBLE NEGATIVES YEEEAAAAH
