The OEM's behind these PSU's are FSP (apparently, not confirmed)
I need to know whether these PSU's are decent or not.
They are really cheap here and modular, while these criteria should not be a deciding factor, it would help greatly if someone could tell me how good/bad the above PSU's are.

PS: Phaedrus, mad reps for you man.

The OCZ StealthXstream PSU's aren't that popular, in my reckoning.

Yes.
You'd want to get the 600w unit for that setup.

Alright, thank you.
I am not sure how to rep you.

Staff don't have a REP button. We get fancy badges

Don't worry about the REP for me.

The StealthXStream II 600W is a good unit. I've not seen a review or the insides of the 500W unit, but the 700W is actually somewhat inferior to the 600W from what little I've seen on it.

Also, of the StealthXStream series (note - not the II series), the 500W was the better unit.

Overall, none are awful units, but the SXS II 600W and the SXS 500W are the two that shine (I think).

StealthXStream & StealthXStream II units are the same.

SXS II is a refined version of the FSP platform that the SXS units use.

The 700w versions are not recommended as they have a higher failure rate. But the 400-600w SXS II units are all good. Perform more or less, the same at the same wattage.
