Cool...thanks for that info. As I get into bigger and more power hungry GPUs, I think having 1 huge 12v rail is better than 4 smaller ones. But to each their own I guess!

Default I love it....
I love when people state they don't like something, but don't really explain why. I have to make informative decision based on theoretical testimonials, not just because you don't like it.... I drive a kia, one of the best cars I ever bought, but most people think kia's are crap. Definately not true!LOL.

I love it when people jump all over some one's opinion.

Back on topic.

I would take the advice DuckieHo is telling you, he is a very knowledgeable person on PSUs.

TOPIC,right.

I like his advice as well, but he hasn't listed a power supply he recommends.
I need something more than 550w to keep overclocking my system. I would like it to be over 800w or something that will allow me to keep for future systems. xclio seems perfect, I like the rail amperage and it's modular. I'm also a fan of multi rails. Thanks to everyone. even to opinions. Keep them coming.

Default Xclio
I'm going to give the XCLIO greatpower 850 watt a try. I've read the reviews on these powersupplies and like what I see, bang for buck they are not bad at all. I'll let you know how I like it and how I make out.

In the For Sale section I saw a Silverstone DA750 for $125. I'd say that's a great deal, get that.
