Kingwin PSUs?

[jthunderloc]

Any good? I know they're not going to be the greatest, absolute top of the line models, but are they any good? the few reviews I've seen tend to rate them pretty highly and they have the features I want at a price I like

some are decent and some are just mediocre....what sepecific one are you looking at

I'm looking at a a few 800W+ PSUs, the ones I'm looking at are
OCZ GameXStream 850w
Kingwin ABT850W
I'd really like a modular unit, there was a Thermaltake at frys last week, 850w TRX2 I think, $90 after rebate.

Ideally, 800w or more, modular, and under $100 would be it.

Any other possible choice?

Like a Seasonic M12D?

I'm open to any PSU, provided its got the right power and price

Edit-
Ouch, $180 at newegg, thats out of my price range. I'm looking at the 80-100 range.

Not many good 800W+ PSUs for under $100.

THe OCZ would be fine for a 600W PSU...but I wouldn't think of using it if I really needed an 850W PSU.

What do you need this PSU to power?

Heres what I'm currently running
i5-750 OC with a very slight voltage increase, turbo mode, C State and EIST enabled.
EVGA P55 FTW
2x 4890s Overclocked to 925/1050
1X Sata HDD
2X IDE HDD using SATA/IDE adapters
2X sticks corsair DDR 3 1600
7 fans (1 80 4 120s, 2 200)
1x LED 92MM Cpu cooler
2x LED GPU coolers (80 or 92mm)

I'm looking to add a 4th HDD, a DVD drive and a touch screen fan speed controller. Its not so much that I need 800w+ but that I need 4 PCI E connectors. My current PSU only has 2 and running the molex to PCI E adapters is causing me all sorts of issues. I'm running the above on a 700w OCZ with out much issue, aside from hooking up 1 4890 via adapters.

If you are looking in the 80-100 range, you will not find any good 800+ watt PSUs period (barring a crazy sale.) Why do you even need this much power? Are you planning on getting SLI 480s or something? If you're running something moderate, it would serve you better to get a quality 500-600 watt unit instead and those would be in your price range.

Edit: You just beat me. If you need 4 connectors, I recommend this:

Theyre cheap for a reason.

got a nice deal on a corsair 750, should power everything I've got with out a problem.
