anybody know of any 750 watt power supplies that are of a good quality and 100 dollars or less?
I have this

Edit: This seems to be cheaper right now

Edit again: Scratch that first edit. I just read the reviews and apparently it's dying on everyone. I've had no problems with the first one I linked though, so it's worth looking at.

interesting, i guess if i found that in store it would probably be hitting the 125 dollar range though, but it will definitely be a viable option

there are more too, but those seemed best fit. The rosewill / ocz are modular

That corsair PSU Apollonius linked is also really good, although it's a tiny bit more. Trust me though, don't cheap out on a PSU or it can really screw you over.
alright thanks guys, ill just write all of these on a list and ask the guy at my local computer chain store if he has any of them.

lol the reason that im buying a new one is because i had a 40 dollar power supply and it blew up.

im not the most computer savvy guy out there, i was just wondering what the difference was between modular, partially modular, and non modular power supplies
Modular vs non modular the most notice will go to cable management. Modular has multiple plugs for multiple power sources where as non-modular is just one big bundle coming out to be hooked up where ever.
and non modular one big bundle of wires whether you need them or not

To an extent, not having all those extra wires clears up a lot of mess. You have a cleaner case, better cable management, and better air flow.
