I don't actually know why they were discontinued! However i looked at their list of places they still sell at (on msi's website) and the only places are chinese (i beleive) webstores. that shop your buying from probably just has leftover stock they dont want (hence the sale)

Hold up! does that mean they don't consider it as a product worth selling at full price? now i have seconds thoughts about buying the msi...
I actually have a friend who bought a different Psu (gold edition) from cooler master and it's running fine till now
so i guess that brand is better?

My experiance with cooler master has been great. at massive load they can have coil while but looking at your specs that MWE will be more than fine as it wont even nearly max it out! Also usually companies just want to get rid of old stock. nothung to do with quality
