I declare BS... The 600W is excellent, and a better value than the expensive 510.

Well, yes, I have heard of this issue. They also feature dual rails which I dispute.
However, they are still excellent PSU's. Ask the users who got functional PSU's.

That's a BIG advantage for the OCZ. It comes with pre-made, external pots.
Those PCP&C blackmailers will demand a 30$ if not more for every external pot (that means 90$ extra for every rail, and the PSU is expensive as hell already. For more mods you'll need more money). You CAN tweak it though, you'll just need to open the PSU. However from my exprience it's a PITA.
Not to forget that the OCZ comes pre-sleeved too.

The 530w Powerstream > 600w in my mind.
+ 70w more isn't worth it.
I'd go w/the PCP&C 510 SLi/Deluxe

Sparkle FSP550-60PLG or PC P&C 510.

Yeah, the FSP is fantastic, but it can't handle as much and it's not as user friendly to mods. (They are still possible, and they work well, they just arn't as readily accessible)

I vote for the PcPnC 510W SLI or 520W Powerstream. Lots of power and tweakable rails....Screw silence :D :D :D :slobber:

PCP&C 510.
The problem with OCZ 520 is that if you have in mind a SLI with 7800GTXs for example, this PSU only can offer 33A in 12V rail. In accordance with SLI configuration requires 34A min.

Rated amperage means jack. The OCZ is much more capable then most PSU's that supply at least 34A, and it is definitely capable enough to handle dual 7800GTX's.
