I hate the cost of these things, but I am thinking of this ONE 
Rikky I have a Corsair 650 watt same model tho as u'r lookin at ,and it is excellent the Voltage rails are virtually spot on with no variation well oover about 20 seconds that I had my DVOM hooke up while it was running and loaded....and one big fat 12v+ rail with enuff amperage to do 1/8" sheet metal welding 
the 1kw u'r lookin at has 2x12v rails @ 40 amps per, u could weld some reasonably decent steel with 80 amps

, think I'd get away with the Corsair in 850 version or lower?, bearing in mind that I'm only welding an i7 to its socket?

Damn, back in the day when I started building my computers (some 4-5 years ago) 28amps rails were the best out there... PSU's are so overpower and overpriced now, this one fact makes me not-want to build again :s Mainly cause you don't actually notice the benefits of a better PSU (VS other components) it hurts to spend so much on a brick.

I know what your saying hog, yup, but when clocking, a decent amount of power matters. Many times I have failed due to scrimping on the PSU It does seem your getting nothing for nothing though

The Corsair is a nice choice, I owned one and sold it but really liked it for the short time I had it, same model you linked to, 1K model, felt/looked to be very high quality and has been powering a system that's higher end without issue. (Only sold it cause I had planned to build two pcs and changed my mind and was selling of what parts I had gotten)

Gonna grab the Corsair I think, not the 1000W one as that's overkill for what I need, I'll never be running SLI or Crossfire either

Hmmm, I have the CoolerMaster, and I especially like the add-on they have, a power-usage meter, it's nice
