Corsair rocks!

CORSAIR TX Series CMPSU-650TX 650 W ATX12V / EPS12V SLI Ready CrossFire Ready 80 PLUS BRONZE Certified Active PFC Compatible with Core i7 Power Supply & New 4th Gen CPU Certified Haswell Ready

Pros: I put more than 1 year of ownership because I also have been use a 550w Corsair PSU for around 2 years and it keeps on going. These power supplies are a great deal and come with PLENTY of amperage to power some pretty high-end gaming rigs.

Cons: Isn't modular, of course. But certainly not worth taking an egg off.

Overall Review: I've been using Corsair PSUs for awhile now and have always had good luck with them. They run cool, generate alot of power, and are solid piece of equipment. I highly recommend them. Plus, it comes with this cool cloth bag that you can put over your cats head.

Pros: Slick interface, reliable, comes with Hyper-V which is great for virtual machines.

Cons: The new start screen may take some getting used to if you're coming from Windows 7 or Vista. But it's not that much of a leap.
