Well after many years it looks like my trusty BFG ps is starting to fail

Looking for any suggestions besides Corsair. Looking for 1000+ watt and the cheaper the better as long as its a solid unit. PC in sig and TIA

Can we recommend quality 850W power supplies too? I mean, even a quality 850W PSU is enough for your system.

BFG no longer exists, and the HX-1050 makes a poor choice anyway (given the cost).

@OP, Check the recommended PSU thread, you'll find plenty of good choices there,

It's not just about the companies, but it is about the individual and or specific units. Power supplies are exactly like human beings in one way: it's what's on the inside that counts.
