    Corsair are amongst the most reliable brands for PSU's.

    They use to make great ram.... still make reliable ram, but the performance isn't where it once was.  As for the PSU's, they're not even making them.  they're buying and rebranding.

    I have a Corsair 750w PSU and it has a 5 year warranty on it.  I love the thing.

    Corsair is mostly a good brand.  Just avoid their builder series (CX430, CX500, and CX600) and the rest of their lineup is good.

    Do you really need 650 W?  Most people don't.  Unless you're going with SLI/CrossFire, an unreasonably high processor overclock, or for a GF100-based video card, you probably don't, either.

    well i have a 400W now and most 550W are only $10 less.  i figured i should just get the extra 100W for only a little more money.
