I have been looking about on newegg, and want to know if this PSU is trustworthy,

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817182294&cm_re=750w_power_supply-_-17-182-294-_-Product

I don't know is it is because it has no reviews on newegg, or that i could find on jonnyguru.
I am willing to be that is is though because Rosewill is a VERY trusted manufacturer, none of their products ever fail on me, and the always impress with their quality. If it isnt trustworthy, then can you please suggest the same wattage (+/- 50W) under 100$ USD. If you do sugjest please make sure that the fan is 120MM as that is the only on that can fit in my case (found that out the hard way.)

Thanks in advanced Tom'sHardware. You guys and gals are always so awesome.

No , that Rosewill isn't a very good power supply.

Here's the Best 750w on the market.

Performance (40% of the final score) - 10. I mean, really... were you expecting any other score in this category today? Beyond excellent ripple suppression, beyond excellent voltage regulation, easy pass for Gold efficiency both times. I mean, come on... if anything deserves a perfect score here it's this unit...

I am not sure, You shouldn't really go for a PSU with no reviews just to be on the safe side. Perhaps you could get a PSU from XFX or Seasonic because XFX is made by seasonic and is fantastic in quality components

I'll keep looking around, maybe someone else could answer to state their opinion as-well. Thanks, I will look at some XFX and seasonic PSU's also. Didnt know XFX was made by seasonic, Looks like i can trust them as-well.

Functionality (20% of the final score) - and it's getting another 10 here, as well. We have a fully modular unit with very nice black sleeved cables. The manual's decent. There are lots of connectors. There's a switchable fanless mode. EVGA gave us a little test adapter to see if it works before we use it. There are lots of other goodies in the box. Can you find something to complain about here? I certainly can't.

Value (20% of the final score) - Newegg's offering this unit for $129.99 right now, with a rebate on top of that. I can't score on rebates, but I can drool all over that price. It's directly competing with the Thermaltake Toughpower Grand, which may or may not still be the same one I reviewed. That said, the real competition is from Seasonic. Their KM3 750W is ten dollars more money. And you'd probably think EVGA has this all sewn up based on that alone. But... XFX has a Seasonic built unit at this same price point, so this category is not a lock like we saw with the 850W model. I'm going to go with a 9.5 here. When a Seasonic build is your only competition, you're doing it right. In fact, I'm almost ready to say that it is Seasonic who is competing with this one than the other way around.

Build Quality (20% of the final score) - as was the case with the 850W, I still want to see that fan control switch wiring cleaned up some. There's a little more glue on it this time holding it to the modular board insulation, but it still looks rather like an afterthought. There's room for that switch directly on the back panel... how about we do that instead, Super Flower? 9.5.

Note: Seasonic doesn't make any EVGA PSU's.

SeaSonic makes power supplies for Corsair XFX EVGA that i know of. I gotten a XFX 850W silver rated 72 amps single rail 88% efficiency power supply for 58 dollars after rebate from 72$. But get what ever you feel like getting if its near the warranty range. Think the fan on my power supply is 135mm if i remember correctly
