But I saw this OCZ PSU on NewEgg and it ends up being a whole $15 cheaper than the Corsair PSU, PLUS its 100% modular (http://www.newegg.co...N82E16817341044).
What do you guys think? :S

I hope this helps you decide and let us know which you choose and what the deciding factor is for you.

OCZ PSUs are improving in quality and the one at your link appears decent enough performance wise + it has a 5yr warranty, the one negative for me is that the inner components are not made by quality suppliers Seasonic or CWT.
I hope this helps you decide and let us know which you choose and what the deciding factor is for you.
I think I'm going to have to go for it and get the OCZ PSU. It's full modular rather than partial, and it's more expensive (but ends up being $15 bucks cheaper than the Corsair because of discount codes) and is about the same rated as the Corsair but with even more reviews.
I hope I made the right decision lol, I'll let you know when it gets here and I hook it up.

- OCZ is 100% modular VS the Corsair being semi-modular
- OCZ is $160 VS the Corsair at $140 (feeling of "getting what you pay for")
- OCZ ended up being less expensive after discount codes online, $110 for the OCZ VS $124 for the Corsair
- OCZ is 80 Plus Gold certified VS the Corsair 80 PLUS Bronze certified
- They're both good brands so I didn't feel like I was losing any difference in quality between the two
Anyways, I just finished swapping out my Corsair TX750w for this new OCZ ZX850w, and it went very smooth. I LOVE only having the 5 or 6 cables that I currently need as the only ones hooked up in the PSU, with all the others neatly tucked away inside of the carrying bag.
Also, I took 2 pics so you guys can see the finished result of my upgrade (after about 4 years from when I originally built her).
