It really depends...what are the other parts going into your system? If you want a great all around cooler that will last you a lifetime, go with the Corsair 620HX or maybe the Corsair 520HX. PC Power & Cooling also makes high quality PSUs. There are less expensive PSUs out there but if your building a higher end system you really can't beat the Corsair (unless you're going SUPER high end).
