I wanna upgrade cause I have a chance to sell my current PSU for it's full retail value and whenever I want a new vid card I'm usually limited, and I'm also thinking of upgrading my proc to an opteron which I would oc as opposed to my current one which I just leave at stock cause it oc's like crap.
 
Both the Corsair HX520w and HX620w are very good units. Pick the one that best suits your particular needs.
 
I just bought a 520. It uses quality components, has low ripple, and maintains solid voltage rails.

You can DO IT!!!
 
i've had mine ever since they came out , and not 1 problem with it

did anyone mention how quiet they are ? can't hear it over my hard drives or other fans

Yep!

They're basically Seasonic (belch) PSUs done right! 😀

Kinda like the difference between a VW Beetle and a Karmann Ghia...

Q: What's NOT to like about them?

A: Nothing!

 
the corsair 620 can run 2 8800's in sli with a quadcore and a raptor and not even hiccup.

its obvious the seasonic/corsair team didnt skimp on anything. they wanted to enter the PS market with a statement.

i bought into it and so far from all i read i am glad i did.
 
The 520HX can be bought at buy.com for $89 after rebate right now. Combine that with the $15 paypal or $10 google checkout deals and you have a kick ass PS for cheap.
 
Planning on getting the 520 also. Don't trust my 420W HEC enough to drop in a eVga 680i board to OC since I'm already running a 8800GTX and 3 HDD's....
