Hey I'm struggeling with the manucafuer of PSUs.

My friend said that Corsairs CX series can stop working in a few years (Was considering CX750M or CX600M). Since then i'm looking for a PSU that would suit me. I can give you my spec of my future build.

CPU: Intel Core i7 4790K

CPU cooler: be quiet! Dark Rock Advanced C1

Motherboard: MSI z97 Gaming 5

Storage: WD Blue 1 TB and Samsung EVO 840 120gb

Extra Fans: 2x Corsair Air Series AF140 Quiet Edition

Case: NZXT s340

PSU: UNKNOWN

 

Thanks for your help!

CPU: i7 5820K Motherboard: MSI x99A SLI PLUS RAM: Corsair Vengeance DDR4 2800mHz (4x4gb) GPU: MSI GeForce  GTX 980Ti Case: NZXT S340 Storage: 840 Evo 120gb and WD Blue 1TB  PSU: EVGA SuperNOVA G2 850W CPU Cooler: be quiet! Dark Rock 3

Any psu can stop working after a few years if you're unlucky.

Where are you shopping/located? Budget?

Compared to the Corsair CX, the Rosewill Capstone 550 is a much better option for a similar price range, and will be perfectly adequate for your system. http://pcpartpicker.com/part/rosewill-power-supply-capstone550

 

If you can spend a bit more there's the Antec TruePower Classic 750 http://pcpartpicker.com/part/antec-power-supply-tp750c

 

Or if you really want a modular unit, there's the EVGA 750B2 http://pcpartpicker.com/part/evga-power-supply-110b20750vr

Too many watts will not harm your computer. Too little can. A psu runs more efficiently when it draws from 40% - 80% of its rated wattage.

It's always a good day if you woke up breathing.
