Anyone have a good recomendation for a new psu?
I was looking at Corsair AX-850 or 750
Any good/bad things to say about them?
I want it to be quiet during loading aswell and not like an airjet like the one i have atm.
Price is allso an important criteria here i would say 150-200 euros approx.
And ofcourse delivers the goods to the max

Absolutely nothing wrong with Corsair (rebranded Seasonic) PSUs. They're amazing power supplies that go above and beyond "delivering the goods" - plus they're ultra quiet too.

Corsair rocks ^^ And buy modular PS, having bunch of not needed cables is a real mess...

Corsair are great. Also, OCZ and Antec. And +1 on modular... It saves so much space in the case!

Well... I am sure that some cheap modular PSUs could have issues. But hey, what cheap POS doesn't?

Its not a bad idea to get a strong and efficient psu that runs at about 60% max output at full load because its generates a lot less heat and noise. Not only check for power/price but also for efficiency. The Corsair AX-750 is rated 80 PLUS Gold, expensive but a good investment for the future since it has 7 years guarantee. I own a Be Quiet! Dark Power Pro P8 750W and it gets fart warm even after hours playing bfbc2.

I've had my Corsair TX650 for ~2 years and it's an unfailing PSU so far.

I read modular power supplies are less stable than non-modular because flow of current fluctuates at the points of removal. Non-modular are all one piece, thus there is no chance of loss/change of power going thru. I got a OCZ NON-Modular and has been working great!

I read the cables you do not connect on non-modular psu´s act like antennas and receive bad signals from the sun. Only recommended if you use SETI@home.

I love my Corsair 450VX ^^ The box it came in is too awesome to throw away  And when I opened the box even my parents were: wow what nice cables
Altho there are bunch of cables I really don't need :\

Then still, don't go for 850 watts unless you plan on having 2 GTX 480's in there alongside one of Intel's i7 extremes overclocked to 4 GHz whilst running 7 hard drives.
Honestly, unless the above applies to you, you shouldn't even seriously consider the 750W unit, let alone 850W. Have a look at a Seasonic X-650 - widely regarded as one of the best PSUs ever made. It's silent, insanely efficient and isn't over the top on peak wattage - amazing value for its price.
Also check out the hardware post I made. Unless you make terrible choices in your hardware, there's nothing out there that will exceed even 500 watts, and future hardware *typically* uses less power, with the exception of NVIDIA's fuckup with GF100. They made up for that with GF104, and hopefully GF106 will be just as good.
Just my two cents, in the end it's your money, but wasting money is never good tbh :E

The Corsair AX-7/850 is a good choice and you wont regret it, better than "uhh its still hot but hey i saved 20 bugs.."
