For that money I'd rather get: http://www.newegg.com/Product/...E16817139001&Tpk=520hx But this one, a lot cheaper for 65$ will suffice as well: http://www.newegg.com/Product/...E16817139003&Tpk=450vx Heck, this one would suffice as well, and is in fact DIRTcheap: http://www.newegg.com/Product/...x?Item=N82E16817371006

Thank you!

That's the one I went for waiting for the shipment of it though probably on tuesday. I chose it based on the rebate but more importantly a tech reviews on it:

The interior is the most surprising part of the power supply for me. Usually for large wattage power supplies you would find massive heatsinks and tons of components, but the GameXStream is a very simplified and clean design. The best I can tell is the aluminum block in the front seems to be some sort of heatsink/heatpipe, when the PSU is under a heavy load that spot gets quite hot if you feel from the exterior side. Before testing I was unsure if this PSU would really hold up to the load (but you can breathe a sigh of relief now as it came through with flying colors). This power supply proves that it is not the physical size of the components that matter, rather it's the quality of the components used that makes the difference.

The best course of action when deciding on the component you are eyeing before purchasing it is to look up as many reviews as you can for it. Reviews that have actually put the thing trough it's paces and of course asking on here for extra support on deciding.
