Thats the PSU that will eventually ruin his expensive parts...
I could be wrong, but isnt that one of those flashy Raidmax PSU's that was popular awhile back?
The main power connection for the motherboard should NEVER be a modular plug...

Yeah it's a raidmax, I freaking hate the thing for one reason and that is that one of the fans gets really clicky after running for awhile.

Other then that I have no problems with it.

OK, I dont know what your situation is, but I HIGHLY suggest tossing that Raidmax in the garbage bin, and putting in a quality unit
You dont have to spend an arm and a leg to get a nice looking high end PSU...
$36 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16817256019

The only reason i suggest this is because you look like you have decent components and that is the obvious weak link...
Any instability, and performance hits could lead back to the PSU and it would be hard to diagnose.
Plus if it dies, it WAY more likely to "take things with it"

=\ i'll think about it. Really it hasn't caused me any problems and the only thing I dislike is like I said earlier that sometimes the intake fan get's loud because of the bearings becoming too hot.
