Ok so im getting a new PC soon which will be my first however im not exactly sure what brand psu is the best for someone like me. Now im a pretty big Corsair, EVGA, and Razer fanboy however i used to think that corsair psu's were the best mainly because of their name. Could anyone point me out to what they think is a great psu company. I could use anywhere from about 600+ watts for a decent price and i would like a semi or fully modular psu. Anyways it would be very appreciated if you guys could help me out with who to go with. Thanks for the help

We need to know what the rest of your build is like, what your budget is, etc..

I would say EVGA. I got a 750w broonze for like $45 !!! And it works. I mean what else can I say. Perfect for two lowish power graphics cards.

Right

If one does not fail at times, then one has not challenged himself.

Ok, wasn't sure if you were replacing the PSU in that build, or making an entirely new one.  I would go with an EVGA SuperNOVA G2 750/850W PSU.  I own one, and it is incredible.  Has everything you could possibly want out of a high end PSU without breaking the bank, and comes with a 10 year warranty, backed by EVGA.  $95 for the 850W is an amazing price.  Buy it and don't look back.

Grab an EVGA G2 series. The 750 and 850 have fairly regular rebates that bring them down to fantastic prices. Newegg has one for the G2 850 at the moment that someone recommend earlier. I've seen the 750 go as low as $60 within the last 2 months, but $80 is a regular sale price for it (after MIR).

 

You're already a fanboy. Convincing you to buy an EVGA PSU should be pretty easy. xD

STAHP! If it's not too late...

The NEX series is not very good. They're OK, but they're not very good.
