Nope.

 

Had 2, Both are dead.

 

if you have a TDP of 350W you just would need something around 550-650W.

Corsair CX PSUs for gaming is bad. Why are you needing a 750W PSU? Going SLI or Crossfire?

Don't choose CX series for any build.

 

It will fry your components.

Evga g2 750, I own one and it's awesome

 

I got the G2 myself (850w) and damn right i'll 2nd you on that one.

 

I've thrown everything at it the same as i did with my old 2 CX750's (CX750 and CX750M) and wheras the CX's just fell over and died, G2 just took it like a boss, didn't bother it at all.

750W would be best unless putting two 970s in SLI. 650W would be best for that. The EVGA that everybody and their dog recommended is a good bet.

For that price, that's a decent budget PSU and it will get the job done. Not well regarded because it's one of our entry level PSU, but many actual CX users will tell you that its far from being terrible.

Well, with respect to the Corsair name, if a system REALLY needs 750w  (Dual-GPU configurations), I would not use a CX, since its platform is as you said, entry level, so while the PSU might supply 750w it wouldn't be stable enough to handle things like Dual 970s, 980 Tis, R9 390Xs, Fury Xs and other high end GPUs. Many people have problem with such PSUs, coil whine, even explosions. As I said before, I respect you and Corsair, but when a product is low end, there's nothing I can do about it. Besides, on Corsair's site it says it is for basic builds, and a basic build certainly does not need 750w.

Actual CX user here. First one had no power to SATA or peripheral connectors, exchanged it for a second one which was DOA, and third one worked but ended up blowing and frying a GTX 760. Yeah, never again. (a friend's PC, but still)
