    I've read that the CX series has poor quality capacitors which is why it's such a cheap line.

    You know: I wouldn't call 90 euros cheap by any means. Also I don't need it to run for more than 2-3 years anyway, by that time I'll have enough cash to buy me an even better PSU, a second GPU, more RAM and hopefully a better cooler so I can OC my CPU.

    If you're getting a second GPU, you'll have to upgrade the PSU anyway. Might as well save the money now. (By keeping the CX)

    We are talking about thinks way in the future and stuff I don't have the money for now. I'll barely have enough to buy 1 GPU, a CPU, a decent amount of RAM and a good MoBO by December.

    Well it is kinda cheap for a 750 watter which is also a lot more power than a i7 & 280x/290 setup needs.

    What about capacitor ageing. I don't plan on changing my PSU every year and I do keep my PC running for 8 or more gours/day.
