Some people say PC Power & Cooling, some say OCZ PowerStream. You can't go wrong with either one.

And my vote? OCZ Powerstream. Even the lowest-end one is a beast, and they have them up to 600W.

PC Power and Cooling 510W

Probably the PCP&C 510W, though it's far from worth it--you can get almost as good for tons less.

If I were getting a PCP&C the system I would be putting it in would have to meet the following 2 criteria:
-the system has got to have all the top of the line stuff in it, why would I spend so much on a psu to pair it with a set of "plain" hardware?
-the system has got to be in a LARGE case, like the silverstone TJ03 or Akasa Eclipse 62, PCP&P have always believed that the PSU's job is to power the system, not to cool it. They don't think anyone should depend on the PSU cooling as case cooling, and therefore you better have a nice and big case with adequate cooling. The large amount of wires that come with the turbocool psus don't help in a cramped case.

What makes you think you need the "best PSU money can buy?"

And what exactly are you looking for? The highest power rating? The most reliable? The quietest? The loudest? The most efficient? Or the cleanest, most stable power possible from a rationally chosen model rated somewhere between 300 and 400 watts?
