Bro!

here's a good thread which lists well known PSUs of all sizes.

if you have an Antec 1200, i would recommend reading up on the Antec CP-850, which is especially made for the 1200 and 2 other Antec cases.
if you want UV sleeved cables, i think you'll have to do it yourself. buying a quality PSU and sleeving yourself, is far better than finding an average PSU with UV sleeved cables, as you want stable/consistent power to power your new system.

others you should look at are Antec Signature 850w, Corsair HX-850 and maybe something from the Enermax Revolution range. these are all god-like PSUs

S/N,

I was going to refer him to OW's new 910w PCP & Cooling review sample in the Classifieds but the doesn't have enough posts for the Classies. Can we do that?

Wolf has 'em listed on jonnyguru.com forums. He can trade there.

I was mainly wondering if I need a thousand or a 850 but I'm currently looking into a corsair 1000 modular would that work and also what's a quality watercooling kit cuz building my own i'm a little Leary of money is no object

the corsair 1000hx would be a excellent choice
