Get rid of that PSU and try to squeeze in an SSD too. Anyway, the NZXT S340 is looking pretty good, I'd give that one a try :)

I am not a professional. I am not an expert. I am just a smartass. Don't try and blame me if you break something when acting upon my advice.

Do you people know WHY they are not good? :)

At OP, Get something like a EVGA GS or G2, any XFX or SeaSonic PSU also works.

They are perfectly fine for a 750Ti/860K or less. Basic builds.

There are usually better options for the price bracket, but otherwise, for a build like you said it is fine.

I had a CX psu die on me a few months ago.. :3

That could be bad luck. Do you actually KNOW why? A $300 EVGA T2 1600w Could go out on someone with something as low as a pentium and R7 370.

I agree, I think "never" is a bit strong, but they really don't belong in a PC like this IMHO :)

Very low ambient temperature tolerence (30 degrees IIRC) and low quality capacitors, isn't it?

Correct! A lot of people just jump on the bandwagon and say it since everyone else does.

Also, @WesleydeGroot Look into the BeQuiet! Pure Rock, it is better then the 212 Evo for about the same price.

Nice, congrats. Doesn't change the fact they they're still usable and aren't as bad as you make them out to be.

i does have good reviews for the most part,  i mean i wouldnt power 4 titan xs and a 5960x on it but it will do fine
