Generally they are one of the best PSU made so far. The only problem that JG was saying that the PSU is not sold in america and is hard for them to get it. Furthermore the instructions manual provided is just so so only, but its minor.

Yes apart from that, you can go for Seasonic, FSP and also Corsair PSUs.

FSP Aurum S/Plat series
Corsair HX/RM/AX series

Thanks guys. Actually I'm tied with seasonic, cooler master and super flower. Kinda stuck among them. Budget is $100 plus with 600 to 650w. Btw the gold meaning is more power efficiency? Sorry if this sounds silly but I got a blown psu and whole house was tripped. Lolz

Can also add Antec High Current Gamer & Pro. OEM is Delta.

Wow thanks guys very informative. One questions, does it worth to go gold over bronze?

You save more by not changing KFC whipped potato to cheese fries than electric bill savings between Gold and Bronze power supplies

 

[WiZaRd!]

Sorry ark, u mean I should stick to gold with lower watts and same price with bronze but higher watts??

 

[Ark Law]

Same watts, bronze.

Edited prev post for clarity

 

[shadow84]

If its same watts but gold is cheaper than bronze, den just get gold...

Yep. Speaking of which, it's been a long time since I've last seen a silver unit. SG is like either bronze or straight to gold++

Since gold is getting cheaper, den might as well give the market gold... bronze most likely catered to low watts psu and low budget bah...

Thanks guys! Finally bought a seasonic psu 620w at $102. Luckily main bd and rest of hardware are not damaged! Thanks for your recommendation!

I do not think I want to get Corsair RM series.

Corsair RM850 850W Review

Look at the RM850, its rather crappy. Voltage regulation not really great and rather poor choice of capacitors used and its built by Chicony (not exactly on my list of great OEMs).
