I think you can get better prices from newegg
PC P&C 750

Corsair 750

I would get the PC P&C myself if getting a 750w range PSU although the Corsair is also a fine unit, what are you looking to power with this?

Powering Core I7 Xeon, 6Gig ram, 4850X2, 3 HD's, case fans. Well the HX750 is modular and maybe better quality PSU then the TX750. I think it's more like the HX620

I think you need to get away from these little PSU's, get the Corsair HX1000 (if you like Corsair) for your pc and you won't be straining it to the point of melting connectors. What PSU were you using previously?

You need to plan for on down the line. I recently got out of my rut of buying PSU's. I started with a 600w. Not enough power so I bought a 750w. It in the end didn't have enough pcie cables so I bought a 850w. It had enough pcie connects but not enough power for what I had in mind as I planned on going subzero with quad GPU's so I was going to buy 1000w but went with the 1200w just incase I needed it in the future. I would go with at least a 1000w with plenty of pcie cables.

Yeah I would love to have one but my budget isn't much over $100 so even the $150 is pushing it. Plus my 2 day old board died, and I need to replace that too. But I won't even touch it till a new PSU is connected to it

Just ordered a 850HX it's supposed to be the shizzz. Even though I didn't really have money for one...

This PSU just came out, it's modular like the 620HX and 1000HX

I have got TX750W and tho only con in that it's not modular
so the HX750W will be the best choice for price/performance
