The first Cooler Master PSU I purchased Extreme Series 600W literally Blew Up in my face. Since then I steer clear of thir PSU's.I have a Cooler Master Cabinet though and that is TOP Notch.For Psu's go for Corsair.None other should do

Corsair GS series is much better than CM GX. Its not only about efficiency but the use of better passive and active components like japanese capacitors etc.

well, Corsair GS series is not using Japanese capacitors like VX and TX. GS is actually using Taiwanese capacitors. But still much better than CM GX series.
