i think the tittle speaks for itself but basically,
i can either get
650w OCZ stealthxstreamhttp://www.microcenter.com/single_product_results.phtml?product_id=0301549
or
650w Corsair (tx) http://www.microcenter.com/single_product_results.phtml?product_id=0273361

so is losing 50w and $15 for a better brand worth it?

oh and this is the system it wil be runing

i7 920 @ 4.0-4.2
ex58-extrene
6gb ocz 1600
GTX 260 ( possibly sli in future)
2 sata hdd + 1 ssd
+ lots of flashy lights and fans:bday:

i currently have a 600w stealthxstream, but i have a friend who is in need of one and i dont thing a 600w will be enough for thr specs above...and my 600w is way to loud :(

Thanks:bday:

Actually the Corsair 650 is giving you much more power on the 12v rails than that OCZ which is where you want it (624w-52amps vs. 520w-43 amps). That OCZ is overrated and doesn't compare favorably to the Corsair 650 at all.
