Which one should I go with, I need to explain something, I am building a computer with a budget at $1250 - $1270, i've picked other parts out (in my posts), and I have got it down to some things, I need to have a 650w or a 750w psu, it has to be $90.

I have seen 2 psus: Rosewill 750watt HIVE PSU bronze vs Corsair CX750 PSU, now understand that I will be willing to pay $100 for a top notch good powersupply.

Now I have a HUGE concern knowing I have never built a PC before, and I do know a lot about parts (not much haha) but I am really scared about a psu, I am scared it could catch fire if it is not functioning properly and catch my house on fire, and also I am scared it will ruin all my other parts that I have payed so much for, please help me I don't know what to do, if you could give me advice about which one I should get or what are the possibilities of it short circutting or catching fire, please give me one that is a decent quality and will actually work, and not do those things I had mentioned.

Most likely the malfunctioning PSU will simply not work or turn on and then off. That's it. A power supply that I use is an Enermax NAXN 82+ 750 watt semi-modular. Hasn't failed on me, and my rig folds almost all day unless I'm gaming. Specs of my system can be found on my profile.

Are you going to SLI (which that PSU doesn't support, btw)? If not, a 450/550w will be plenty for your system. I would recommend looking at a higher-quality, lower-output unit. Something like the Seasonic G or Rosewill Capstone.

 

If you are going to overclock, I would look at the Capstone 650w in the same price range as that Hive, or the Seasonic X 650w KM3 Which is at an great deal for $99 or $79.99 after MIR, atm: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817151088

 

It may go out of stock soon, if you aren't quick.
