I've had decent luck with Enermax, but I bought this Zalman PSU for much more than it was worth and it's done real good so far.
Although it is a 600W powersupply most reviews state that it can do 750 W sustained. I'm running a Core i7 820 with a Radeon 4890, both overclocked on a MSI GD65 mobo and 8 GB RAM, and nary a problem! The only issue is that it's not SLI compatible, so if I wanted to do crossfire or SLI I may be out of luck. For my next PSU, I'm looking at XFX, Corsair or Zalman again. First pick would be Zalman of course since I've had amazing luck with my Zalman. The model I have is the ZM600-HP.
