Edsel-


The Edsel was an automobile marque that was planned, developed, and manufactured by the Ford Motor Company during the 1958, 1959, and 1960 model years. With the Edsel, Ford had expected to make significant inroads into the market share of both General Motors and Chrysler and close the gap between itself and GM in the domestic American automotive market. But contrary to Ford's internal plans and projections, the Edsel never gained popularity with contemporary American car buyers and sold poorly. The Ford Motor Company lost millions of dollars on the Edsel's development, manufacturing and marketing. The very word "Edsel" became a popular cultural symbol for failure.
 
I thought it was some of the Z? series that reviewed well (much like Corsair today), but had capacitor problems and failed early.
I'm with SR-71 though. I buy almost all Seasonic, although my "best" PSU (the one that may outlive me) is a Delta-built Antec SG-650, and I've got a NiB Super Flower-built 450W Rosewill Capstone M I'm about to use.
 


You did not list the hardware that is in your system, so all I can really say is this. If the load your system puts on the power supply is below 750 watts, then the Seasonic power supply should be a great power supply for you. It is the only brand I buy anymore.
 


FX 8350
Sapphire HD 7850

750w is more than enough for this, but it restarts nevertheless. I saw the same kind of topic, OP was using 550w PSU and had the same problem as mine. He equipped 500w PSU (probably new) and it was solved.
 


Sapphire recommends a minimum 500 watt power supply for a system with that video card in it. I also like to always have spare capacity, so I like the fact that you went with a 750 watt power supply.

I did some looking around. It seems that for 750 watt power supplies that I like, the XFX PRO750W Core Edition 80+ Bronze ATX 750 Energy Star Certified Power Supply is on sale at what appears to be the lowest price at Amazon.com. They are showing it for $79.99. That is a Seasonic made power supply, and I think Seasonic makes the best power supplies on the planet.
 


I'm afraid XFX brand isn't sold here in Turkey, so I'll decide between 620W or 750W Seasonic PSUs.
