Hi, I was looking to get a 750W PSU because right now I have a CX600M and I have been told it isn't very high quality and I want to overclock my GPU and CPU. I was looking at this one http://www.amazon.com/XFX-PRO750W-Edition-Bronze-Certified/dp/B0045L4BJ6/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top Does anyone have any experience with this PSU? Or the 850W one because it is only 20 dollars more.

If the specs on your profile are the system you're planning to oc, you shouldn't need a new psu just to oc.

I have a GTX 780 SC and an i5 4670K if that helps. I have also seen people say that a PSU can cause BSOD and I have seen that happen if I even slightly OC my CPU.

I had a CX600M and it died on me after 3 weeks and i bought a HX850i which is amazing!! and very high quality, it's a bit on the pricey side but i think it would be worth it

The psu shouldn't ever cause a BSOD. If the psu fails to power the system, it should just shut down. BSOD's from oc'ing are generally from the oc being unstable and have little to nothing to do with the psu.
