Your choice in PSUs is barely commendable, those are all Tier3 at most.

Get this one: http://www.eastluna.com/hardware/details.php?id=1127

PCP&C Level of power and quality. And yes Eastluna is a respectable company.

Well thanks, I have never really gotten into the PSU scene so I wasn't too sure. Any other suggestions? I'm looking to spend around 100-ish

My issue is that I think it's my PSU causing problems with my motherboard and boot issues.

Currently I have the Xclio Goodpower 500w

Also what is it about the Mushkin that makes it so much worse than this one...?

Thanks for the inputs, I ended up going with the Silverstone Zeus. They were they same price on newegg, the corsair and the siverstone, so I figured I would give up having a modular PSU for having one with more juice and more power. Thanks. Price was 129.00 on newegg, which is slightly higher than the link you had, but for me newegg usually gets here within one day of shipping and I need it for this weekend.

The olympia 650 isn't a lot more and has 54a instead of just 38 ;)

You wont be disappointed in the zeus. I just got one about 2 weeks ago. Using it with an e6300 7x490 @ 1.475v folding 24/7. It's very quiet and barely gets warm.

We will see. Turns out my problem was solved by a bios issue and not the power supply being inadequate so really I don't need the Zeus. But being it shipped out from newegg yesterday, I suppose a more reliable and beefier PSU couldn't hurt :D Especially with all the good things being said about it.

I totally agree.
I own one. Pity the new decathlon series which is modular and with a single 12V rail wasnt out when I bought mine.

PCP&P, Silverstone and Enermax (only infinity and galaxy lines) are my top tier.
