I've got a BFG GS 650w power supply in my current desktop. It's powering a GTX260 and Q6600 oc'd to 3.2ghz.

I'm currently deployed to Iraq and will be returning stateside soon. My wife has given me persmission to build a new system when I get home. What I want to know is how good are BFG's GS PSU's?
I will be upgrading to a Core i7-860 and a 5870 (if the 5890 is out I'll get one of those). I'm eyeing a Corsair 650w PSU but don't want to spend the money if the BFG is a good PSU.
 
The GS line isn't that good. They're rated at peak and at 25C. So that 650W PSU might actually be a 550W PSU at best.Definitly not a good idea to use it with a HD 5890.

Ah. Thanks for the info. I guess I'll add a Corsair 650 or 750w then.
