Hello i was wondering if anybody can suggest a good 1000w psu has to be modular perferably fully modular. The best i have found is ocz fully modular zx1000w and another from corsair. Also could anybody suggest a good ssd for a long while i have been looking at samsungs 840 evo but i was wondering if anybody knows a better alternative i do not need good write speeds as im using it for a boot just good read speeds

Here is a list of quality psu's:

What will you be using with such a strong psu?
I would not particularly value a fully modular psu over a semi modular unit.
It makes sense to me to firmly attach the psu leads that MUST be used in every pc.
As to SSD's, I think Samsung and Intel are the best.
They control their own nand chip supply and can do a better job of validation.
The big benefit from a ssd is not boot or load times. 90% of the time the os does small reads and writes.
With a ssd, a one hour update will take 15 minutes.
Files open instantly.
Do not be much swayed by vendor synthetic SSD benchmarks.
They are done with apps that push the SSD to it's maximum using queue lengths of 30 or so.
Most desktop users will do one or two things at a time, so they will see queue lengths of one or two.
What really counts is the response times, particularly for small random I/O. That is what the os does mostly.
For that, the response times of current SSD's are remarkably similar. And quick. They will be 50X faster than a hard drive.
In sequential operations, they will be 2x faster than a hard drive, perhaps 3x if you have a sata3 interface.
Larger SSD's are preferable. They have more nand chips that can be accessed in parallel. Sort of an internal raid-0 if you will.
Also, a SSD will slow down as it approaches full. That is because it will have a harder time finding free nand blocks to do an update without a read/write operation.
I would also reduce cold booting anyway.
If you use S3 sleep(to ram) you put the pc in a low power state in 3 seconds and resume equally fast.

sorry i haven't been on i haven't had much time with college anyway to freshbakd thanks i do love the look of seasonics 1000w psu and iv heard seasonic are one of the best i don't know how true that is though and i haven't seen intels new ssds i may have a look.
To geofelt i do not need a 1000w psu in reality i only need 700w psu but i want the breathing space of an 850w. since i am upgrading from a 600w moving to a 700w does not sound worth the trouble and the price difference between a high quality 850w and 1000w are small enough i would rather pay an extra 30 or 40 euro for a 1000w and not have to worry will my pc have enough power every time i go to upgrade something plus im constantly adding stuff to it anyway and i have a spare 560ti i bricked a year and a half ago, so if i can fix it i might use it as a dedicated physx card to go with my 680 even with that i know i do not need a 1000w ha.
As for the ssd i cant afford a large capacity ssd so my intention is to use it as a boot drive put some heavy applications on it and have two wd blacks 1t in raid 0 for the rest of my stuff i know i could use an ssd more efficiently but for me to get good use out of that i would need a larger ssd and right now capacity is my main priority.
Also i don't look at the manufactures stats because as you said they might not be 100% truthful i tend to look at LinusTechTips, TechofTomorrows or OC3D benchmarks. The main reason for my choice in ssd is i had my eye on the 840 for a while then when the evo came out it supposedly had better performance(also price) and i trust samsung in terms of reliability.
