PSU Upgrade

[aShufflinZombie]

When I built my PC back in november, I bought a cheap cooler master psu because the wattage requirements were low and I wasn't planning on overclocking.

In the times since, I overclocked my 8320 to 4.2 GHz at stock voltage. Heat isn't an issue because at full load during encoding it only goes up to 45~50 C. It was completely stable for 3 or so months but lately it has been randomly crashing as well as BSODs. I'm pretty sure that it's the PSU since it has cheap Chinese capacitors so I'm looking for a new power supply.

The budget is $80 but going under budget is not a problem. But I need to order by monday at the very lastest because my PSU might die soon.

The two PSUs that I'm looking at are the Corsair CX600M or the Rosewill Hive 650.

I would greatly welcome any input.

Thanks fellow CAGs!

My rig is as follows:
AMD FX-8320 @ 4.2; stock voltage
Hyper 212 Evo
ASRock 970 Extreme4
Corsair Vengeance [email protected]
EVGA GTX 650 @ 1200 core; 6GHz GDDR5
OCZ Vertex 4; 128 GB
Seagate 2tb
LG DVD drive

I've had bad experiences with Rosewill. I suppose the one I'm using now has lasted 3 years of near continuous use, so maybe I shouldnt complain. But it took 3 tries for them to send me one that wasnt DOA.

I ordered a Radeon HD 7870 DD Black Edition the other day, so after that I think my next upgrade will be a more reliable PSU. I kinda dont trust the Rosewill one.

I cant speak for Corsair though, I've never had one.

I ended up going with the CX500 because it was $30 AR on the Egg. Supposedly, Corsair is expensive but they make the some of the most reliable PSUs.
