Got my Corsair750 in, whisper quiet and runs great (cool too). No damage to my componants also which is a huge plus.
I'll have pics up in a few hour's (have to go to work)

I have the OCZ. I picked it up at the time everyone was yelling to get the OCZ. Now it suddenly ranks with Raidmax?

Well, when Corsair and Antec (and one or two others I forget the names of) start putting out units that get near-perfect reviews at JonnyGuru, everybody else gets relegated to the mediocre pile

Depending on the amount of hardware he has on his rig, I'd suggest the TX650 or above.
The thing is, the TX650W has a peak efficiency of 84.2% @ 380W. 52A @ 12V. Input current 10A
The HX520W has a peak efficiency of 80% @ 318W, 18A @ 12V. Input current 9A(not so great since some newer graphics cards like 25Amperes input.
I think the 550VX is what should be purchased if only looking to 550ish Watts.
It rates; peak efficiency of 80% @ 324W, 41Amperes @ 12Volts. 9Amperes Input @ 110V.
However the TX650 cost only $100, while the 550VX cost $110.!?

No, it doesn't. It has 3x 18amp 12v rails. Total of 54 amps.

Thideras already corrected that random 9A that you pulled out of nowhere...
Your efficiency numbers also seem to be pulled out of nowhere. JonnyGuru shows 82% at ~400W on the HX520, and 85% on the TX750 (TX650 isn't reviewed) at ~500W.
Corsair's own efficiency charts show similar numbers between both units.
Aren't they "fake" rails, anyway? I thought every cable was drawing from the combined total of 54A.

From what I understand, it is one total rail.

oh believe me dude this one is ultra quiet...just because its a 1k psu doesnt mean its going to be outputting a lot of heat... unless im stressing my whole pc then it will start getting hot

Tell me if I'm wrong, but I remember reading somewhere that underutilizing your PSU tends to reduce its efficiency...... Mind you, that has nothing to do with quietness....
I just find it hard to imagine is all. I tend to take a fairly moderate approach to most things as such I've never heard a 1000W PSU. Last time a read a review was for a 1000W Tagan or something which was noisy as.

No one recommending a Seasonic? Seasonic makes incredible PSUs, and most are very quiet. Though it does seem they're a little pricier. Do you really need 750w? Is that what the GTX275's demand?

Dude, the Corsair HX series ARE Seasonics. Well, at least up to the 850W models, don't know about the models above that.
