I recently decided i was going to order this. PSU=OCZ StealthXStream OCZ700SXS 700W ATX12V / EPS12V SLI Ready CrossFire Ready Active PFC Power Supply
Model #:OCZ700SXS
I got onto Newegg today and noticed almost 25% of the reviews were saying they had problems with them burning out. Even the ones that said it was good said they had to replace them one before.
Has anyone else had problems with this PSU if so let me know. Any good alternatives too.

Thanks
 
OCZ power supplies are mid range quality at best. Look at corsair power supplies, they are pretty much the best. I'd take a corsair 650 over a 700w OCZ.

That being said, I used to have a 600w OCZ power supply and it didn't give me any troubles with an I5 750 overclocked to 4ghz and two 8800gts 512mb in SLI.

Enermax is good too if you get their higher end ones, not the cheap ones. You need to spend atleast $150 on a PSU for them. I got mine on a trade deal, one hell of a PSU actually it's handled my I7 860 overclocked to 4.9ghz (on DICE) with two 9800GX2's in quad SLI while benching all GPU's at 100% load.
