Hey, I'm Phaedrus from OCN, co-creator of the program. Thanks for linking us Juggalo!

Yes EarthDog, those are all quality power supplies. We built our PSU database straight from Overclock.net's Recommended PSU guide which I helped build, with a few adjustments. There are still a few things I want to tweak (for instance there are a couple units with relatively low +12V amperage that should be considered lower wattage power supplies) but on the whole you can't go wrong with any of the power supplies listed in our app. :)
 
Awesome! Welcome! And nice app man!

Will it be possible in future versions to input voltage and clockspeed for CPU's instead of a blanket 40% overclock?
 
I put my rig in - it gave me 450W. At full CPU and GPU burn, I'm getting 420W at the wall, so about 330W draw from the PSU. Definitely a lot more accurate than the "ZOMG, BUY A 900W!" stuff that most of the "calculators" (invariably hosted by someone that sells expensive power supplies) out there. The Newegg one recommends 600W for my rig. Color me surprised...

I like the power supply finder at the end... and how it actually recommends more than just Corsair units. ;)
