Power supply will not increase the performance of your system, however the power supply is essential that it is of good quality, as its the one thing you do not want to fail.

Both fine brands, and actually if any psu fails it can damage parts, protection feature or not.
The psu however will not increase performance(but it will allow use of higher end parts).

Power supplies can improve performance if you think beyond gaming or computational units per second etc.
Stability, reliability, data security, temperature management and therefore fan noise - are all performance indicators to me. Therefore an underpowered or low quality unit will reduce performance.
If that OCZ actually meets manufacturer specs in the real world then it is loads. Enjoy.
ps, bomber, you need a SSD for that bad boy machine of yours

Heh, i need alot more things before i go for an ssdPower supplies can improve performance if you think beyond gaming or computational units per second etc.

(Such as an optical drive, been without one for a few months now since my asus failed haha) Not to mention my gpu needs an upgrade, memory, and i need a new case and by then i'll need a new cpu&mobo.And i think the OP is talking about tangible benefits, not implied benefits of security

how many components can a 500w generally handle?
other than the motherboard i have like 3-4 hds, 1 dvd write, 1 dvd rom, 1 floppy, and a few other components that require some power atleast, and of course the fans.
i dont think my power supply can handle them all. and now it can barely do just on HD, since the computer shuts off randomly, and i think it may have affected my mb now

Depends on the quality of the unit.... a good quality one should have no issues with a few optical drives and hard drives as they are generally pretty low draw.
