Yo!! I'm for sure getting the XFX ATI Radeon HD 5770 and I'm going to need a new power supply. I'm gonna shoot for 750W and I need to know a good brand, as there are so many and I'm not very aquainted with PSUs. Thanks guys.

Pick from these haha.

I will vote for Corsair, Antec, & Thermaltake.
Please keep in mind I really don't know.

Ok, sweet. Is there a cheaper good one though? I know you get what you pay for, but $110 isn't in my price range. I could fit it in possibly but as a back up, what's another brand?

Very true Goober, cheepo ones are a bit naff and will break down ... no power and a Computer is just a lump of metal and plastic that you cant do a thing with.

Corsair 750W $90 shipped after MIR

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16817139006

There is a second 750W Corsair that offers much higher efficiency numbers, but that one costs $130 after MIR.

Rosewill, which is Newegg's house brand makes some decent ones. Here's a 750 watt modular unit.

Here's another post suggesting the Corsair, I and 4 of my friends have the same model, but we aren't sharing the same model in all of our computers.
