ill just go for the coolmaster
I really hope this guy actually heeds our advice, otherwise, what is the point of asking for help?
The power supply isn't just something you can get a cheap one of... its the one thing standing between a stable system and an explosion.
If you don't want to take peoples advice here, then just say so, people have gone out of their way to help you. And as already said, FSP do good PSUs for cheap on scans today only offers sometimes, otherwise, you'll need to pick up something a little more expensive like a VX450 from Corsair.
You have been lucky in the past with your PSU's blowing up and not taking your system out. I can back it up that cheap PSU's blow even on low end systems. 3 in total before I realised. Thanks to the people on this forum they steered me to the reliable brands and I've taken there advice, I suggest you do to for your own good.
No-one on here is a salesman for any of the companies mentioned, and gain nothing by reccommending you products. If you want their help, trust them.
so this is the one i should be getting?

Please buddy, listen to what these guys are saying :)
EZ-Cool = EZ-Death. It really is as simple as that. We are not blowing it out of proportion, these things really do happen.
There is little point to buying an expensive CPU and GPU and then everything else on the cheap. Its simply false economy. When you factor in the price : performance ratio of lower/mid end CPUs to high end ones, the value usually rapidly falls off. Save a bit of money on the CPU and spend it on a decent PSU and motherboard.
Generally speaking, a well rounded system is much better than a mismatched one :)
ok lets pray tht "budget computers" gives me full refund
can anyone suggest wots a good overclocking mobo for my q6600?
Managed to get mine to 4GHz with my P5K-E and I can reach 470MHz FSB just not stable but thats the CPU's fault. So you'll have no problems clocking. Only thing it doesnt have is angled sata ports so if you got a chunky graphics card that will take up dual slots full length get some angled sata connectors. That's all I can think of thats bad with it. So far I've had no problems with it. I haven't toyed with the raid controller and I've always had full ram slots.
I'd say go with whichevers cheaper the Abit or P5K-E. They're both good boards.
Corsair are excellent PSU's. :)
If you are willing to buy one then by all means do so. You will not be disappointed.
I recommended the Coolermaster PSU earlier as it is heaps and bounds better than your EZ one. Its not the greatest but it would not fail on you.
But as the others mentioned you get a great package with the Corsair psu.
Good luck , we are only trying to help. No one likes to see money thrown away.
