So i need a good PSU that can support my build
i was set on this SILVERSTONE ST85F-P 850W, but after reading some of the reviews im not so sure.
That fact that there is no on/off switch does bug me.

I also noticed these which got good reviews buy hardocp
XFX Black Edition 850W
Corsair TX950W 950W

Heres my build.
MotherBoard GIGABYTE GA-X58-USB3 LGA 1366
Video Card Dual GIGABYTE Ultra Durable 1GI GeForce GTX 460
Processor Intel Core i7-950 3.06GHz
Ram Two G.SKILL Ripjaws Series 4G
Hard Drive Western Digital Caviar Blue 500GB 7200 RPM
DVD Drive Sony Optiarc
Monitor Asus VE248H Black 24" 1920X1080 2ms

Your system probably will never consume over 300-350w. Keep that in mind before buying an 850w psu.
 
i couldn't be bothered with load balancing, hence the preference for single rail +12v.
 
You should never need to load balance a psu, even multi-rail. Only poorly designed multi-rails need load balancing, and we don't recommend those :p
