I was looking at this one on Newegg, what do you guys think? It kind of stinks though because I can't return the PSU and I have nothing to do with it. :/
With 62 amps on the 12 V rail, wich is single, 80+ efficiency and 750W.. no comment needed. Maybe a less powerful psu would do the job for you, but when making a pc, never save mony on the power suply! If its weak and bad ,the entire system can "die".
Smart choose, go for it!
If you still have the box it came in, Call customer service tomorrow. Explain it is not enough watts for your card. Tell them you want to buy the one you linked to above. I will bet they will let you send it back for credit since you will buy the new one. I have bought $$$$$$ from NewEgg. They are always willing to work with the customer.
So are we certain that the problem is the psu? Just to clarify, every fan spins when I turn the computer on with the graphics card inserted to the mobo. The power button will turn the computer on but cannot turn it off.
I'm also debating whether to buy the new psu tonight (with one day shipping it would be here faster, and I am really anxious to get this all working) and ask them about sending the original back tomorrow, or just buying tomorrow.
What do you guys think? :P
EDIT: I just read the max TDP on my cpu is 65 w. Not sure if this affects what we believe to be the issue.

Alright guys, sorry for so many posts, but it's decision time. If we all agree that this really is the fault of the psu, I'll call newegg right now to return the other one. Thoughts?
