    800W dont know the brand.... its not any recognize one anyways... i think is not that reliable so i focus on think that i have a 650 PSU, becouse only the recognize brand give you "real" wattages.

    I've got a Corsair HX750w. Very good power supply, feels and looks well built and it's very quiet and stable.

    If I get enough money after Christmas I'll have a look at getting another GTX 470 as long as the price comes down a bit.

    Rocking out a HX850, previously supply was a TX750, modular is so much win, not like I could hide the wires of the TX

    i have a coolermaster 650W extreme power pro...been using it for almost a year and no troubles at all!!
    just wanted shout out to all of you!! i know how PSUs are important, had a hard time when my PSU failed last year before i bought this, then when that happened, the mobo or GPU didnt seem to matter at all! lol

    Enermax Noisetaker II 485W.

    Previous main system had an Enermax Noisetaker 475W, both of them have been rock solid.

    I have a 500 watt PC Power and Cooling Silencer I pulled from my school's recycling pile. It works great, is really quiet, and is rated for up to 35 amps on the 12 volt rail, which is great for a 500 watt PSU.

    500W Fortron (85%+)
  19. I'm using corsair AX 1200W Gold Series :) ..

    I got an OCZ GameXtream 750W powersupply... I had to choose between that one and a modular 650w Thermaltake... although I have a cable mess inside my case which truly hurts the airflow, I think I made the right choice since I need to power 2x 4830's + 1 4850 + Phenom II x4 955 overclocked...
