And since when is a Newegg reviewer competent? These guys think Raidmax and Allied PSU's are good. Actually READ the reviews. They're good for a laugh.

I like this one:

Quote:
the +12V rails will not be sufficient to handle the next-gen cards which take anywhere from 22A-28A on the rail. Have to get a new one from newegg and sell this one.
Next gen cards need 22 to 28A per rail???? Umm.. that's like 264 to 336W. That's more than the PCI-SIG specifies as the capability of the platform!

Also reviewed favourably here:

and here:

and cheaper here:

The Corsair and Seasonic suggestions are also good.

The FSP, OCZ, Coolmax and Kingwin suggestions are NOT.
