Well I was going to get an Enermax galaxy 850 or 1000W, but I saw the Corsair, and now I'm wondering if I should go for that instead. So what i should like to know, is does anyone have any information about this PSU? is it any good? My dad and older brother have both got corsair PSU's however they aren't as high powered (one 640W and one 420W or around those values) without problems, but those computers aren't high end computer systems like mine will be.

Thanks

Depends on the price. Corsair makes good PSUs.

That seems a little high. If it's lower than what you can get elsewhere though, go for it.

The same wattage Enermax is definitely more.

I'd imagine being Corsair it should be pretty good.
