Keep the Cooler Master GX 750 below spec, just to be safe
When you run across a 750W power supply for $120, even if it is from Cooler Master you ought to think before you buy. The Cooler Master GX 750W seems great, with an 80+ rating, 4 PCIe plugs for your graphics and a slew of SATA power connectors and a 120mm fan to keep it relatively cool. Then you see the results that Hardware Secrets found in their testing; noise on the +3.3 V and +5V outputs caused them to head way out of spec at a 600W
power draw. As a 450W-500W PSU, it is solid but asking more from it could endanger some of your components.
