The X-connect maybe but the X-finity is very reliable and stable.

There not the best no. I read some not great reviews about them. I would go with a well known brand such as OCZ or Seasonic.

OCZ might sell rebranded PSUs, but they're about the best in the market. The GameXStream PSUs, for example, are rebranded FSP Epsilons, which are great PSUs. With the OCZ version, you get them a little cheaper (at least here in the US).

If your wanting a Modular, get a Hiper Type-R 580W from Aria.co.uk

Very reliable, plenty of power and they're very quiet

- oh and they come with a nifty toolbox
