Opinions on an upgrade
Wasn't sure where to put this thread so i stuck it in PC mods.
I've been running with an Ultra X3 1K watt PSU for some time, but i've been looking at an In win commander for some time, I'm wondering if its worth upgrading to the In win or if what i got is good.
Reason i ask is i know Ultra had trouble with there PSU's awhile back and i'm kinda wondering if that maybe why i'm not getting my overclocks stable, but all i've read about the X3 is good.

so why do you need a 1.2kw PSU? heck why do you need 1kw even? the only way you are going to get close to 1kw even is if you ran 3 high powered graphics cards with a dual CPU setup or something.

(This PSU is serverly under rated, it is supposed to be closer to a 1500W unit).

If thats truly your concern, I would be looking at PC Power & Cooling.
I wouldnt use an Ultra PSU for a paperweight, it might STILL catch fire!
This would be my choice...
